PROBING POWER OPTIMIZATION FOR WIND FARMS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are generally related to optimizing performance of a wind power plant. A controller may be configured to sequentially, for each wind turbine in a wind power plant, adjust the power production by a predefined amount, and determine whether the adjustment of power production from the wind turbine results in an increase in overall power production from the wind farm. Adjustments in power production of the wind turbines may be continuously made so that power production of the wind power plant approaches the maximum possible value.
