发明名称 SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING THE POWER GENERATED BY WIND TURBINES
摘要 A method for controlling a wind turbine via an ultrasonic wind sensor includes: transmitting, by a first ultrasonic transceiver, an ultrasonic packet at a first time and receiving, by a second ultrasonic transceiver, the ultrasonic packet at a second time; identifying wind properties based on the first time and the second time; transmitting the identified wind properties to a programmable logic controller (PLC) interfaced with the wind sensor and a turbine controller, wherein the interface with the turbine controller includes one of a plurality of communication topologies; processing the identified wind properties for output to the turbine controller based on a specific communication topology, wherein the PLC is configured to process the identified wind properties for output based on each of the plurality of communication topologies; transmitting the processed wind properties to the turbine controller; and controlling, by the turbine controller, a wind turbine based on the wind properties.

主权项 1. A method for controlling a wind turbine via an ultrasonic wind sensor, comprising: transmitting, by a first ultrasonic transceiver of a wind sensor, an ultrasonic packet at a first time and receiving, by a second ultrasonic transceiver of the wind sensor, the ultrasonic packet at a second time; identifying, by a processing device of the wind sensor, one or more wind properties based on at least the first time and the second time; transmitting, by a transmitting device of the wind sensor, the identified one or more wind properties to a programmable logic controller (PLC) interfaced with the wind sensor and a turbine controller, wherein an interface between the PLC and the turbine controller includes a specific communication topology of a plurality of communication topologies; processing, by a processing device of the PLC, the identified one or more wind properties for output to the turbine controller based on the specific communication topology, wherein the processing device of the PLC is configured to process the identified one or more wind properties for output based on each of the plurality of communication topologies; transmitting, by a transmitting device of the PLC, the processed one or more wind properties to the turbine controller via the interface between the PLC and the turbine controller; and controlling, by the turbine controller, a wind turbine based on at least the processed one or more wind properties.
