Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for optimizing one or more farm-level metrics in a wind farm is presented. The method includes identifying an optimization objective and one or more decision variables for optimization. Furthermore, the method includes optimizing the optimization objective based on wake-affected wind conditions, power capture values, or damage equivalent load values, to calculate optimum decision variable values for each wind turbine. The method also includes transmitting the optimum decision variable values to the respective wind turbines. In addition, the method includes applying the optimum decision variable values to the respective wind turbines to achieve the optimization objective. Systems and non-transitory computer readable medium configured to perform the method for optimizing one or more farm-level metrics in a wind farm are also presented.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising: acquiring prevailing wind information for a wind farm from wind sensors; modeling wake-affected wind conditions based at least in part on the acquired prevailing wind information; calculating power capture values and damage equivalent load values for at least some of a plurality of wind turbines on the wind farm; using the power capture values and the damage equivalent load values for determining an optimization objective of…
