I was super excited when I read the headline and saw that deepmind published the article. I was hoping for something along the lines of applying reinforcement learning on the turbine or park level to optimize power output. Finding the optimal pitch angles, better yawing algorithms (yaw misalignemnts are one of the most common causes of underperforming wind turbines), or finding optimal yaw directions for the entire wind park (downwind wake effects can have a negative impact on other turbines)...
Unfortunately this is really only about predicting wind speeds to then forecast power output. IIRC, grid codes in some countries are starting to require 24 hour, 15 minute interval forecasts for renewables? I've also seen this feature being advertised by other companies over the years as well, although I don't recall seeing any numbers on accuracy for any of the models.
