Abstract:
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for coordinated braking of a plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines. Coordinated braking of a plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines includes accessing memory storing information indicative of a tolerance threshold for an operating parameter associated with the plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines; receiving information from a sensor indicative of the operating parameter for a particular fluid turbine among the plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines; comparing the information indicative of the operating parameter for the particular fluid turbine with the tolerance threshold; determining, based on the comparison, whether the operating parameter for the particular fluid turbine deviates from the tolerance threshold; and upon a determination that the operating parameter for the particular fluid turbine deviates from the tolerance threshold, sending a braking signal to each of the geographically-associated fluid turbines to slow each of the geographically-associated fluid turbines.
