A method of controlling at least one wind turbine is provided. The method comprises predicting at least one future state related to the at least one wind turbine. The method further comprises evaluating a fitness of solutions associated with a plurality of individuals of a population for a current operating environment of the at least one wind turbine. Each individual comprising a dominant genotype and a recessive genotype. Each genotype represents a solution for controlling the at least one wind turbine. A fitness function is applied to the dominant genotype of each individual. The fitness function is based on the at least one predicted future state. The method further comprises storing previously encountered genotypes in the recessive genotypes of the individuals. The method further comprises selecting a solution for controlling operation of the at least one wind turbine based on the fitness evaluation.
