Cloud-based turbine control feedback loop

A computing apparatus, the computing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to;
• receive operating data from at least one wind turbine located on a wind farm,
• wherein the operating data includes current wind turbine operating conditions, and the at least one wind turbine is located on a wind farm;
• calculate, at the central processing center, at least one new wind turbine yaw setting using wind direction, wind velocity, wind turbine location in the wind farm, historic supervisor control and data information, and a yaw optimizing algorithm derived from the operating data;
• send yaw settings data, relating to the at least one new wind turbine yaw setting, to a configuration settings system, the configuration settings system coupled to a local network at the wind farm;
• generate at least one instruction regarding the at least one new wind turbine yaw setting;
• and
• execute the at least one instruction to set a yaw of the at least one wind turbine.

A non-transitory computer readable medium, storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to:

• receive operating data from at least one wind turbine located on a wind farm, wherein the operating data includes current wind turbine operating conditions, and the at least one wind turbine is located on a wind farm;
• send the operating data,
• calculate, at the central processing center, at least one new wind turbine yaw setting using wind direction, wind velocity, wind turbine location in the wind farm, historic supervisor control and data information, and a yaw optimizing algorithm derived from the operating data;
• send yaw settings data, relating to the at least one new wind turbine yaw setting, to a configuration settings system the configuration settings system coupled to a local network at the wind farm;
• generate at least one instruction regarding the at least one new wind turbine yaw setting;
• and
• execute the at least one instruction to set a yaw of the at least one wind turbine.
