  • System and method for validating optimization of a wind farm
    Patent number: 10385829
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for generating one or more farm-level power curves for a wind farm that can be used to validate an upgrade provided to the wind farm. The method includes operating the wind farm in a first operational mode. Another step includes collecting turbine-level operational data from one or more of the wind turbines in the wind farm during the first operational mode. The method also includes aggregating the turbine-level operational data into a representative farm-level time-series. Another step includes analyzing the operational data collected during the first second operational mode. Thus, the method also includes generating one or more farm-level power curves for the first operational mode based on the analyzed operational data.
