Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents an Internet of Things-oriented intelligent supervisory system and high-level control for a small wind turbine powering a residential building. The proposed approach integrates wind generation, battery storage, grid interaction, technical condition analysis, and initial operating mode selection within a single cyber–physical framework. A nonlinear discrete–time hybrid mathematical model was developed for the study, describing the interdependent operating processes of the turbine, storage, and power converter, along with a control algorithm that accounts for constraint flows. A series of experiments are presented for steady-state and dynamic operating scenarios, including wind-speed variations, evening energy shortages, stochastic disturbances, and a developing converter unit fault. As a result, the proposed Internet of Things-oriented supervisory algorithm ensures more efficient utilization of the available wind resource, reduced grid-import dependency, improved battery reserve preservation, and lower thermal loading of the power electronics. Under developing fault conditions and stochastic operating disturbances, the proposed framework maintains more stable residential energy-management behavior and improved operational robustness. The obtained results confirm the potential of the proposed control design for autonomous and semi-autonomous low-power wind energy systems for residential and distributed use.
