    Abstract: A method for providing backup control for a supervisory controller of at least one wind turbine includes observing, via a learning-based backup controller of the at least one wind turbine, at least one operating parameter of the supervisory controller under normal operation. The method also includes learning, via the learning-based backup controller, one or more control actions of the at least one wind turbine based on the operating parameter(s). Further, the method includes receiving, via the learning-based backup controller, an indication that the supervisory controller is unavailable to continue the normal operation. Upon receipt of the indication, the method includes controlling, via the learning-based backup controller, the wind turbine(s) using the learned one or more control actions until the supervisory controller becomes available again. Moreover, the control action(s) defines a delta that one or more setpoints of the wind turbine(s) should be adjusted by to achieve a desired outcome.

    Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present technique, a method is disclosed. The method includes modifying one or more operational parameters of a gas turbine (GT) to increase an exhaust gas temperature above a standard start-up temperature. The method also includes receiving at least one of GT operational data, heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) operational data, and steam turbine (ST) operational data from a plurality of sensors. The method further includes predicting a ST roll-off time based on at least one of the GT operational data, the HRSG operational data, and the ST operational data. The method further includes modifying the one or more operational parameters of the GT to satisfy one or more ST roll-off permissives at the predicted ST roll-off time.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for the control of an industrial asset, such as a power generating asset. Accordingly, an interceptor module receives a state-change instruction from a state module that directs a change from a first state condition to a second state condition. The first and second state conditions direct modes of operation of at least one sub module of the controller of the industrial asset. The interceptor module then correlates the state-change instruction to a state-change classification. Based on the state-change classification, the interceptor module identifies an indication of a mode-switching attack. In response to the identification of the mode-switching attack, at least one mitigation response is implemented.
