PERFORMANCE MONITORING ANALYSIS & OPTIMISATION

Some wind farms do not meet pre-construction expectations and require a detailed operational analysis to identify the reasons and rectify performance where possible.

We can help clients understand the reasons for any difference between the budgeted generation of a wind farm and the actual performance. Our aim is to help our clients put plans in place to improve the energy capture as a result of our analysis. Our techniques allow anecdotal under-performance to be closely and accurately quantified, providing a clear focus on the turbines, systems and components which require attention and following through with engineering reports and cost-benefit analyses to identify any potential solution with the aim of delivering better financial returns from the wind farm.

• Downtime analysis
• Power performance analysis by site and turbine
• Directional power performance analysis by site and turbine
• Site wind flow modelling and measurement to identify turbulence
• Budget revision in line with post construction analysis
• Investigation of grid and HV issues
• Improved Site Management strategies
