Abstract

Temperature Control Based on Weather Forecasting Examples are generally directed to techniques for controlling a temperature of a blade, such as a blade in a wind turbine system. One example of the present disclosure is a method of controlling a temperature of a blade. The method includes inputting current weather conditions and future weather conditions into a processor, generating a first power production, generating a second power production curve based on future weather conditions, comparing the first power production curve to the second power production curve, determining which power production curve minimizes a new power production loss of the blade, and adjusting a heating cycle of the blade based on the power production curve that minimizes the net power productions loss of the blade.
