1. A method comprising:
receiving operating data from at least one wind turbine located on a wind farm, wherein the operating data includes current wind turbine operating conditions data;
calculating, at the central processing center, at least one new wind turbine yaw setting using wind direction, wind velocity, wind turbine location in the wind farm, historic supervisory control and data information, and a yaw optimizing algorithm derived from the operating data;
sending yaw settings data, relating to the at least one new wind turbine yaw setting, to a configuration settings system, the configuration settings system coupled to a local network at the wind farm;
generating at least one instruction regarding the at least one new wind turbine yaw setting; and
executing the at least one instruction to set a yaw of the at least one wind turbine.
