System and method for optimizing control of a wind turbine

A system for optimizing control of a wind turbine, the system comprising:

• at least one sensor configured to monitor at least one condition of the wind turbine;
• a control system configured to:
• receive the at least one condition of the wind turbine;
• estimate, via the control system, a current state of the wind turbine using the at least one condition;
• calculate, 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;
• define, via the control system, an optimization problem to be solved, wherein the optimization problem comprises a cost function and a pitch constraint;
• determine, via the control system, the pitch adjustment factor for modifying the current state of the wind turbine, wherein the pitch adjustment factor comprises at least one weight in the cost function that when implemented increases or reduces a behavior exhibited by the wind turbine, wherein the cost function is implemented in an optimization solver implemented by the control system;
• calculate, via the optimization solver implemented in the control system, an optimized pitch parameter for at least one rotor blade of the wind turbine from the linearized representation using the pitch adjustment factor and the pitch constraint, wherein the optimized pitch parameter is the solution to the optimization problem;
• and
• adjust a pitch parameter of the at least one rotor blade to the optimized pitch parameter such that the behavior exhibited by the wind turbine is increased or reduced and the control of the wind turbine is improved.
