  • Patent number: 10539116
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to provide wind turbine control and compensate for wind induction effects. An example method includes receiving wind speed data from a Light Detecting and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor. The example method includes receiving operating data indicative of wind turbine operation. The example method includes determining an apriori induction correction for wind turbine operating conditions with respect to the LIDAR wind speed data based on the operating data. The example method includes estimating a wind signal from the LIDAR sensor that is adjusted by the correction.

  • Patent number: 10338202
    Abstract: The present subject matter is directed to a system and method for sequencing Light Detecting and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor beam signals from a LIDAR sensor mounted on a nacelle of a wind turbine with the rotor position of the wind turbine so as to improve signal availability. More specifically, the method includes generating, via the LIDAR sensor, one or more laser signals towards the rotor of the wind turbine, the rotor having one or more rotor blades. The method also includes receiving, via a controller, a rotor position of the rotor of the wind turbine. Thus, the method further includes coordinating, via a control algorithm programmed within the controller, the rotor position with the one or more laser signals of the laser sensor so as to minimize interference between the laser signal(s) and the rotor blades during rotation of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 9336731
    Abstract: We describe a display system comprising an electrooptic display coupled to a display driver and including an induced voltage compensation circuit. The compensation circuit comprises a system to measure a voltage applied a common pixel electrode of the display, and one or both of: a system to measure a voltage swing on a pixel select line of the display, and a system to measure a change in voltage on the common pixel electrode due to a voltage induced on a pixel drive electrode of the display. The compensation circuit also includes a system to apply a voltage to the common pixel electrode, responsive to a combination of the measured applied voltage and one or both of the measured voltage swing and the measured change in voltage, to compensate for the induced voltage.
