Method For Optimizing The Operation Of A Wind Turbine

Patent No. EP1959130 (titled "Method For Optimizing The Operation Of A Wind Turbine") was filed by General Electric on Feb 1, 2008. The application was issued on Oct 28, 2020.

Patent Summary

A control system for wind turbines that optimizes turbine performance by identifying and correcting sensor drift and abrupt changes in sensor signals, rather than relying on theoretical models. The system continuously monitors sensor data and controller set points to detect deviations, which are then corrected through bias or offset adjustments. This approach enables more accurate control of wind turbine operation, even in the presence of sensor errors or changes in turbine properties over time.
