Abstract

According to an embodiment, a method of controlling a temperature of a blade includes generating a first power production curve based on current weather conditions and generating a second power production curve based on future weather conditions. The method also includes, in response to determining that the second power production curve reduces a net power production loss of the blade more than the first power production curve, adjusting a heating cycle of the blade based on the second power production curve rather than the first power production curve.
