Systems and methods for controlling a wind turbine

A method for controlling a wind turbine, the wind turbine including a controller, the method comprising:

• determining, via a wind classification module of the controller, a current aerodynamic state of a wind resource based, at least in part, on a current operational data set of the wind turbine indicative of a current operation of the wind turbine;
• generating, via a configuration intelligence module of the controller, an estimator configuration for a turbine estimator module based, at least in part on the current aerodynamic state;
• emulating, via the turbine estimator module of the controller, an operation of the wind turbine so as to generate a control initial state for a predictive control module, wherein the control initial state comprises a modeled current operating state of a plurality of components of the wind turbine;
• generating, via the configuration intelligence module, a predictive control configuration for the predictive control module based, at least in part, on the current aerodynamic state, wherein generating the estimator configuration and the predictive control configuration further comprises selecting, via the configuration intelligence module, a gain tuning of a plurality of gain tunings based on the current aerodynamic state, wherein each gain tuning is configured to modify at least one of the estimator configuration and the predictive control configuration;
• determining, via the predictive control module of the controller, a predicted performance of the wind turbine over a predictive interval based on the control initial state and the predictive control configuration;
• generating, via the predictive control module, a setpoint for at least one actuator of the wind turbine based on the predicted performance;
• and
• affecting an operating state of the wind turbine via the at least one actuator in accordance with the setpoint.
