Methods and systems are provided for controlling movement of a train including a plurality of locomotives along a route. In one example, the method comprises, generating a first plan profile, the first plan profile including synchronous settings for the locomotives over a route, and generating a second plan profile based on the first plan profile, the second plan profile including independent settings for the locomotives over at least one region within the route. The method may further comprise, operating the locomotives based in the first and/or second plan profiles. In another example, the method comprises, generating a plan profile with fully independent settings for the locomotives over the entire route, the fully independent settings based on cost function coefficients of each locomotive.

A system for selecting a representative sensor set of a power plant is provided including a computer. The computer has a memory. The memory stores a list of all feasible sensor sets, and at least one variable that is used to calculate a local minimum value of a cost function and a cost function value. The computer includes control logic for executing an algorithm. The computer includes control logic for selecting a proposed sensor set from the list of all feasible sensor sets. The proposed sensor set is based on a specific iteration of the algorithm. The control module includes control logic for determining if the system is observable using the proposed sensor set. The control module includes control logic for determining if the cost function value is less than the local minimum value of the cost function, if the system is observable using the proposed sensor set.

The present disclosure is directed to a method for optimizing power production of a wind turbine. The method includes determining at least one operational constraint for the wind turbine. The method also includes operating the wind turbine with at least one operational constraint being activated. Further, the method includes varying a tip speed ratio for the wind turbine while the at least one operational constraint is activated so as to maximize a power coefficient of the wind turbine.

The present subject matter is directed to a system and method for operating a wind turbine so as to increase power production by utilizing variable tip-speed-ratio control. In one embodiment, the method includes defining a first operating region associated with an unsaturated torque range and a second operating region associated with a saturated torque range. Further, the method includes monitoring a torque output of the wind turbine. The method also includes continuously adjusting a tip-speed-ratio set point of the wind turbine so as to operate the wind turbine along a torque constraint boundary of the first and second operating regions.

The present subject matter is directed to a system and method for dynamically controlling a wind turbine. The method includes operating the wind turbine based on a thrust set point and a speed set point. A next step includes determining a desired change in actual speed of the wind turbine in response to control actuations starting from an instantaneous operating point. The method also includes determining a desired change in thrust of the wind turbine in response to control actuations starting from the instantaneous operating point. Next, the method determines at least one parameter set point that achieves the desired change in speed and the desired change in thrust and controls the wind turbine based on the parameter set point so as to maintain the actual thrust and the actual speed of the wind turbine within a certain tolerance of the thrust set point and the speed set point, thereby regulating loads acting on the wind turbine while simultaneously maintaining optimal or near optimal power output.
