Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to provide wind turbine control and compensate for wind induction effects. An example method includes receiving wind speed data from a Light Detecting and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor. The example method includes receiving operating data indicative of wind turbine operation. The example method includes determining an apriori induction correction for wind turbine operating conditions with respect to the LIDAR wind speed data based on the operating data. The example method includes estimating a wind signal from the LIDAR sensor that is adjusted by the correction. The example method includes generating a control signal for a wind turbine based on the adjusted LIDAR estimated wind signal.
