Abstract
Since the Brilliant wind platform was launched in early 2013, GE has developed and commercialized a host of hardware and software features to increase wind farm Annual Energy Production, improve services productivity, and open up new customer revenue streams. By utilizing advanced control algorithms and analytics coupled with deep domain expertise in power electronics and grid integration, GE is creating more with less - getting more power and efficiency out of existing hardware, taking an inherently variable wind resource and integrating it more smoothly onto the grid, managing the complexity of multiple turbines within a farm and multiple farms within a grid system, and making wind predictable and reliable even in areas with weak infrastructure. By harnessing the power of the industrial internet GE will continue to develop innovative features within the Brilliant wind platform, transforming the wind industry as we tackle the next generation of challenges and opportunities.
