Study Notes

SCADA system provides signals evaluated based on learning cycles and yaw correction angles for different wind speed intervals.
Different signals and statistics are available depending on the turbine type, from both the iSpin and SCADA system.
MPPT system estimates yaw correction angles weekly based on learning cycles, with higher oscillations at low wind speeds.
Yaw misalignment reduction is consistent for wind speeds up to 9.5 m/s, with lower reduction observed at higher wind speeds.
The MPPT system can effectively reduce yaw misalignment, with correction angles updated regularly based on learning cycles.
