Wind turbine controls

Support for teams working on utility-scale wind turbine control, diagnostics, and control architecture when conventional tuning is no longer enough.

Supervisory control

When the real issue is not one loop, but the whole control stack

Wind programmes often have acceptable local controllers and still weak overall behaviour because transitions, priorities, diagnostics, and upper-layer decisions do not fit together cleanly.

That is where an outside review helps most: not by retuning one block in isolation, but by clarifying how forecasting, diagnostics, mode logic, and higher-level control ideas should influence the operating strategy.

Rafał Noga explaining control architecture to an engineering team
For wind control pages, architecture and operating strategy matter at least as much as individual controller loops.

Where I can help

Control architecture and mode logic

Review supervisory logic, operating modes, transitions, and the boundaries between embedded control loops and higher-level decision layers.

Load-aware performance improvement

Assess whether current logic balances energy capture, load handling, fault response, and lifetime-oriented operation in a technically coherent way.

Diagnostics and condition signals

Clarify whether fault detection, filtered signals, and derived indicators are good enough to support robust operation and decision-making.

Forecasting and advanced control concepts

When wind prediction, MPC ideas, or digital models are already in play, help define whether they are actually improving the stack or just adding complexity.

Wind Turbine Remote Diagnostic

A fixed-scope, fully remote review of the control architecture, operating data, diagnostics, and model assumptions. Five working days, delivered over 1–2 weeks, for €4,500 fixed.

You receive a 1-page executive summary, a detailed technical report, optional analysis scripts and raw figures, and a 60-minute Q&A call.

If implementation support is useful after the diagnostic, continue with an Advisory Retainer from €4,500/month (5 days at €900/day, month-to-month).

Typical situations

A subsystem works, but the whole strategy feels brittle

Local loops may be acceptable while mode transitions, supervisory logic, or operating priorities still create weak overall behaviour.

Good data, unclear use

The project has models, signals, and forecasts available, but it is not obvious how they should shape the real control architecture.

The team needs an outside senior review

An external technical review can reduce bias around entrenched design assumptions and help the team decide what to change first.

Working on utility-scale wind control or diagnostics?

A short call can determine whether the issue is mostly architecture, control logic, diagnostics, or a deeper modelling problem.
