Systems and methods for continuous machine learning based control of wind turbines

Abstract:

A control system is disclosed. The control system includes a wind turbine, at least one sensor configured to detect at least one property of the wind turbine to generate measurement data, and a controller communicatively coupled to the wind turbine and the at least one sensor. The controller includes at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The at least one processor is configured to control, during a training phase, the wind turbine according to at least one test parameter, receive, from the at least one sensor, during the training phase, first measurement data, generate, based on the at least one test parameter and the received first measurement data, a control model, receive, during an operating phase, second measurement data from the at least one sensor, and update the control model continuously based on the second measurement data.
