MUMBAI, India, April 20 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202514084642 A) filed by Ge Vernova Infrastructure Technology Llc, Greenville, U.S.A., on Sept. 5, 2025, for 'system and method for controlling a wind turbine based on an estimated rotor azimuth.'
Inventor(s) include Ian Couchman; Till Hoffmann; and Thomas Franklin Perley.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method for controlling a wind turbine is provided. The method includes receiving, via a control system, at least one speed condition of a drivetrain of the wind turbine from a first sensor. The method also includes receiving, via the control system, a pulse from a second sensor mounted within a nacelle of the wind turbine, the pulse being generated when the drivetrain shifts to a known angle. The method also includes estimating, via the control system, an azimuth of a designated rotor blade based on a combination of the at least one speed condition of the drivetrain and the pulse. The method also includes implementing, via the control system, a control action for the wind turbine based on the estimated azimuth."
