Abstract:
A system and method for managing shadow flicker at a wind turbine site having at least one wind turbine includes determining, via a processor, a sun position of the wind turbine site. The method also includes receiving, via the processor, a spatial location of the at least one wind turbine with respect to at least one receptor. Further, the method includes determining, via the processor, whether shadow flicker is occurring at the at least one receptor based, at least in part, on the sun position and the spatial location of the at least one wind turbine. Moreover, the method includes implementing, via the processor, a corrective action for the at least one wind turbine when shadow flicker occurs at the at least one receptor to reduce the shadow flicker.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for determining a wind farm is generating shadow flicker, the wind farm having a plurality of wind turbines, the method comprising:\n determining a distance between each of the plurality of wind turbines and at least one receptor; determining whether the distances are within a shadow range of the at least one receptor based on time of day and time of year; if the distances are within the shadow range, determining whether shadows generated by one or more of the plurality of wind turbines are facing the at least one receptor based on a spatial location of the one or more of the plurality of wind turbines; if the shadows are facing the at least one receptor, determining whether shadow flicker is occurring at the at least one receptor based on the shadows and at least one of a measured light intensity at the one or more of the plurality of wind turbines, a yaw angle of the one or more of the plurality of wind turbines, or weather forecast data.
