Abstract:
1. A control system for a wind turbine comprising: one or more measurement devices configured to measure one or more operating conditions of a wind turbine; a controller; and a memory associated with the controller, wherein the controller performs one or more operations, the operations comprising: receiving, via a sensor interface, the one or more measured operating conditions from the one or more measurement devices; retrieving, via a processor, one or more preset values from the memory, wherein said one or more preset values includes an initial torque setpoint for the wind turbine; determining, via the processor, an adjusted torque setpoint for the wind turbine based at least in part on one or more operating conditions received from one or more measurement devices associated with the wind turbine, wherein the adjusted torque setpoint is greater than zero; and adjusting, via the processor, a real power output rating in the controller for the wind turbine based on the determined adjusted torque setpoint, wherein the adjusted real power output rating is greater than zero.
