Adjustment Factor for Aerodynamic Performance Map

A method for adjusting an aerodynamic performance map used by a wind turbine controller during wind turbine operation, the method comprising:

• monitoring at least one of an actual wind parameter of the wind turbine or an operating parameter of the wind turbine using one or more sensors;
• determining, via a processor, an adjustment factor for the aerodynamic performance map based at least in part on the operating data;
• and,
• applying the adjustment factor to the aerodynamic performance map to obtain an adjusted aerodynamic performance map.

A system for controlling a wind turbine, the system comprising:

• one or more sensors configured to monitor operating data indicative of current wind turbine operation;
• and,
• a wind turbine controller comprising at least one processor, the processor communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors, the processor configured to perform one or more operations, the one or more operations comprising:
• controlling the wind turbine based on at least one first aerodynamic performance map;
• determining an adjustment factor for the first aerodynamic performance map based at least in part on the operating data;
• applying the adjustment factor to the first aerodynamic performance map to obtain an adjusted aerodynamic performance map;
• and,
• controlling the wind turbine based on the adjusted aerodynamic performance map.
