A method for optimizing an operation of at least one wind turbine includes defining a plurality of test parameters that include a plurality of test points for at least one wind turbine operational parameter, wherein each test point includes a plurality of test values for the wind turbine operational parameter, and defining at least one test sequence of the plurality of test points. The method also includes initiating a test that executes the plurality of test points within the at least one randomized test sequence and measures at least one operating condition of the at least one wind turbine at each test point.

A system for representing information and decision flow requirements in a transactional business process is provided. The system comprises an information gathering object and a decision object. The information gathering object represents a piece of information used in the transactional business system and the decision object represents a satisfying condition for achieving an objective associated with the transactional business system. The system further comprises one or more information channels that link the information gathering objects to the one or more decision objects. The information channels represent the information and decision flow requirements within the transactional business system.

System and method for identifying, representing and evaluating information and decision flow requirements and processes in a transactional business system

A robust process for automating the tuning and maintenance of decision-making systems is described. A configurable multi-stage mutation-based evolutionary algorithm optimally tunes the decision thresholds and internal parameters of fuzzy rule-based and case-based systems that decide the risk categories of insurance applications. The tunable parameters have a critical impact on the coverage and accuracy of decision-making, and a reliable method to optimally tune these parameters is critical to the quality of decision-making and maintainability of these systems.

A process for at least a partial underwriting of insurance policies is described. Based on the similarity to previous insurance applications, a decision on the current request for underwriting may be made. This decision-making process represents an analogical approach to the placement of an insurance application to an underwriting category, whereby a given insurance application request is compared to previous requests.
