A system and method for controlling a wind turbine, including controlling yaw or other parameters. In accordance with an embodiment, each of several basic operating parameters of a wind turbine can be measured to provide turbine operating parameters, including both turbine current parameters and turbine operating extremes. Key operating parameters of the controller itself are also monitored. External/ambient measurement devices or sensors can be used to provide measurements about the environment as a whole, such as external/ambient wind data or other external data. The turbine operating parameters are used by the controller logic to calculate measured energy production. The external/ambient measurements are used by the controller logic to calculate estimated energy production. Comparing these indications provides useful feedback, such as diagnostics and/or efficiency; and/or can be used to control yaw or other parameters in a wind turbine. |
