Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a method for optimizing control of a wind turbine that includes receiving, via a control system, a condition of the wind turbine. The method also includes estimating a current state of the wind turbine using the condition. The method also includes calculating, via a model implemented by the control system, a linearized representation of an operation of the wind turbine for a future time interval following the current state. The method also includes defining an optimization problem to be solved. The method also includes determining a pitch adjustment factor for modifying the current state of the wind turbine. The method also includes calculating, via the optimization solver, an optimized pitch parameter for a rotor blade of the wind turbine. The method also includes adjusting a pitch parameter of the rotor blade to the optimized pitch parameter to improve control.
