  • WAKE MONITORING, WAKE MANAGEMENT AND SENSORY ARRANGEMENTS TO SUCH
    Publication number: 20230340940
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of establishing a wake management of a wind farm. The method comprises acts of monitoring one or more wake conditions using one or more sensors from one or more wind turbine generators (WTGs); and establishing a wake management of the wind farm as a function of the wake conditions. Disclosed is also a method of optimising operation of a wind turbine park based on wake management and a system for generating wake management.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VISUAL INSPECTION OF WIND TURBINE GENERATORS
    Publication number: 20230106537
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of visually inspecting a wind turbine generator (WTG) and parts thereof during operation. The method comprising acts of pointing a visual inspection system with a field of view about a line of sight in a plane of rotor blade of the wind turbine generator (WTG); of capturing multiple images of the field of view using the visual inspection system; of selecting at least one reference image amongst the captured images or from elsewhere; of comparing the at least one other captured image with the at least one reference image; and thus inspecting structural aspects of the wind turbine generator (WTG) as a function of the result of the act of comparing.
