  • Active control of a wind turbine blade
    Patent number: 8057175
    Abstract: A method and system for increasing power production of a wind turbine including a rotor, at least one rotor blade coupled to the rotor, at least one sensor, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. A flow parameter of the rotor blade is detected, and operation of the wind turbine is controlled to reduce a flow separation at the rotor blade based at least partially on the flow parameter of the rotor blade.
    Type: Grant

  • SYSTEM, REMOTE DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR VALIDATING OPERATION OF A WIND TURBINE
    Publication number: 20100138188
    Abstract: A method for validating operation of a wind turbine from a remote device. The remote device communicates with a controller, which is operatively coupled to the wind turbine. The method includes enabling a user through the remote device to submit a request for wind turbine operating data, composing a command corresponding to the request, transmitting the command to the controller, and receiving by the remote device a response from the controller. The response includes wind turbine operating data corresponding to the command.
