Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an operation of a wind farm with a plurality of wind turbines in view of a dynamic frequency response. According to the invention, dynamic frequency support and power production for all wind turbines in a wind farm are handled concurrently in a single optimization step and taking into account wake effects within the wind farm as well as optional wind forecast information. The dynamic frequency support capability of the entire wind farm is planned in advance according to grid requirements and power system condition changes. While existing methods de-load wind turbines with a static percentage in order to supply additional power when needed, the proposed method incorporates the dynamic frequency support into the optimal operation system of wind farm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of operating a wind farm comprising an upstream and a downstream turbine, wherein the upstream turbine is operated with current operation parameters under current wind conditions, wherein the method comprises the steps of: receiving future wind conditions for a time period for the wind farm, and evaluating required operation parameters for minimising wake effect of the downstream turbine under the future wind conditions, and determining a cost coefficient for changing the operation parameters to required operation parameters under consideration of fatigue effect of the wind turbine, calculating power productions Po and Pc, in the predetermined time period, by the wind farm if operated with the current operation parameters under the current wind conditions and if operated with the required operation parameters under the future wind conditions, respectively, and operating the upstream turbine with the required operation parameters if the cost coefficient is lower than a cost that would be obtained by a power production increment Pc-Po.

Abstract: A method can be used to analyze a log of a device or a plurality of devices of a first entity. The method includes generating an encrypted log by encrypting the log at the first entity, generating an encrypted query by encrypting a query at the first entity, transferring the encrypted log and the encrypted query from the first entity to a second entity, analyzing the encrypted log on the second entity by using the encrypted query, generating an encrypted analysis result at the second entity, transferring the encrypted analysis result from the second entity to the first entity, decrypting the encrypted analysis result on the first entity, and verifying the decrypted analysis result at the first entity.

Abstract: The present application is concerned with a flexible way of operating a wind farm with a plurality of degrading wind turbine components. According to the invention, maintenance scheduling and power production in the wind farm are handled concurrently in a single optimization step. Instead of a serial approach first scheduling maintenance activities and subsequently adapting the power production and/or wind turbine operation the two aspects are optimized together. The wind farm operation takes maintenance aspects into account by adapting life index or health status based on modeled mechanical and electrical stress. Accordingly, the wind farm owner may decide when and how much energy to produce accepting which level of stress to the turbine equipment. The proposed optimization of wind farm operation includes all aspects of transmission network operator settings, the topology of wind farms and the underlying collector grid, the short and long term wind conditions forecasts, the conditions of the turbines, the estimated remaining operational time under different usage patterns and times, as well as aspects of the electricity market.

Abstract: To determine system settings for an industrial system, digital twin data of a digital twin of the industrial system is retrieved. System simulations of the industrial system are performed based on the digital twin data to explore candidate system settings for the industrial system prior to application of one of the candidate system settings to the industrial system. At least one optimization objective or at least one constraint used in the system simulations is changed while the system simulations are being performed on an ongoing basis. The results of the system simulations are used to identify one of the candidate system settings for application to the industrial system.
