Abstract

See full text

A method includes determining, by a control system, from among a plurality of categories, a current category of an incoming wind approaching a wind turbine, and setting, by the control system, a yaw bias of the wind turbine based on the current category. In some examples, the plurality of categories includes two or more wind conditions, such as a first wind condition in which wind contacting an upper rotor of the wind turbine is veering and wind contacting a lower rotor of the wind turbine is veering, a second wind condition in which the wind contacting the upper rotor of the wind turbine is veering and the wind contacting the lower rotor of the wind turbine is backing, and so on.
