  • Patent number: 11795918
    Abstract: Provided is a warning light apparatus for at least one wind turbine including: at least one warning light, at least one sensor for detecting the presence of an object, a presence acquisition device connected to the at least one sensor the presence acquisition device being configured for: triggering the capturing of data through the at least one sensor, analysing the data captured through the at least one sensor for detecting the presence of objects, a warning controller connected to the at least one warning light and the presence acquisition device, the warning controller being configured for: receiving information about the detection of objects from the presence acquisition device, sending function signals depending on the information received from the presence acquisition device for activating or deactivating the at least one warning light.

  • Publication number: 20220220940
    Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented analysis of a wind farm including wind turbines, including applying an object detection algorithm to a digital image showing the current state of the earth's ground in a surrounding area of the wind farm which extracts and localizes detected objects not belonging to the wind farm within the image; identifying specific objects out of detected objects, each specific object having an influence on the air flow occurring at the rotor of at least one wind turbine; determining whether there is a change with respect to the number of specific objects in comparison to an earlier state of the earth's ground in the surrounding area of the wind farm; and performing one or more actions if there is a change with respect to the number of specific objects in comparison to the earlier state of the earth's ground in the surrounding area of the wind farm.

  • Publication number: 20220181881
    Abstract: The handling operational data of an energy system utilizing a distributed database is provided. Operational data of a node of an energy system is obtained of each of a plurality of predetermined time intervals. The operational data of the node is stored in a distributed database for each of the plurality of predetermined time intervals, wherein the operational data of each of the plurality of predetermined time intervals comprises time data identifying the respective time interval.

  • Publication number: 20220025863
    Abstract: Provided is a method for computer-implemented analysis of a wind farm including a number of wind turbines, wherein at each time point of one or more time points the following steps are performed: i) applying an object detection algorithm to a digital image showing the current state of the earth's ground in a surrounding area of the wind farm, resulting in the extraction and localization of a number of detected objects not belonging to the wind farm within the image, where each detected object is of an object type out of a number of object types; and ii) determining whether there is a change with respect to the number of detected objects in comparison to an earlier state of the earth's ground in the surrounding area of the wind farm, the change enabling an adaptation of the operation of the wind farm in compliance with a predetermined curtailment.
