Abstract

The focus of this paper is on wind energy and optimization of wind turbine operation. In particular, the problem is directed towards a yaw control  system, which presents one of the key factors for energy production. The problem of yaw misalingement is especially observed (calibration and optimization of the angle of the wind direction measuring device located on the nacelle). Machine learning was used to solve this problem, followed by the simulation results with a conclusion.
