International Classification:

F16H 47/08

US Classification:

475 62, 700287, 60239

Abstract:

A method for operating a wind turbine based on operating profiles for the wind turbine corresponding to operating modes. The method includes defining operating modes and acquiring a plurality of parameter values, each based on a reading from a sensor of the wind turbine. Each of the parameter values is associated with one of the operating modes to create a wind turbine operating profile for each mode. The wind turbine is controlled based on the operating profiles.

US Classification:

714 46, 714E11178

Abstract:

A computing device for use with a power system is provided. The computing device includes a processor that is programmed to organize data representative of at least one fault within the power system and to generate a graphical representation of the organized data. The computing device also includes a presentation interface that is coupled to the processor for presenting the graphical representation to a user to enable the user to identify the fault. Moreover, a user interface is coupled to the presentation interface and configured to enable the user to select at least one data point on the graphical representation such that the user is enabled to identify at least one variable of the fault.
