How to detect a rotor imbalance Why is rotor balance important? The rotor blades are one of the key components (if not the most important) of wind turbines to convert kinetic wind energy into electricity. The blades are highly loaded components, with most of these loads being transferred to the rest of the turbine components. These, however, can become excessive for the turbine if the rotor suffers from a poor balance quality. Additionally, an imbalanced rotor can reduce the power …
Sereema is launching a brand new feature for our beta testing: Wind Resource Assessment. Independent and high frequency measurements from Windfit’s ultrasonic anemometer are computed and presented to you in a unique and easy to use dashboard. You can scroll through the historical data to study the seasonal changes in wind resource and compare them against your monthly changes in production. Bruno Pinto introduces his team's latest product development "Our goal is to help our users understand any changes they …
The emergence and development of innovative digital solutions in the wind energy industry is a strong and inevitable trend. Given the gradual disappearance of feed-in tariffs and the implementation of reverse auction systems are giving the market a different dynamic, with the main consequence being a significant drop in the resale price of electricity. Average prices have decreased by 50% in the last 8 years, directly impacting the wind farms Return On Investment (ROI). For asset managers to get a …
Another addition to the Sereema Bunch, in the Lab #Team. Jonathan Tremesaygues is joining the greentech side of the force with his fullstack developer super powers. Windfit's code lines are dancing in joy and we're so very happy to welcome him and his many talents 💻🐍🎮🎻🏔🥾🎨 (especially his cooking skills but shhh it's a secret 🥘👨🏻🍳). Bienvenue dans l'équipe!
Sereema is excited to be presenting in the home of the Spanish wind industry (virtually) at the International Summit on the Operational Analysis of Wind Farms 2020 this Thursday, November the 19th. Our very own wind expert Aleix Torner will be speaking about how wind turbine optimization through high frequency data collection and analytics can help wind farm operators increase the AEP of their assets. Learn more about how our Spanish clients such as Cubico Sustainable Investments, EDP R and …
Windfit is getting ready to stand out in extreme cold weather and have its winter cloak protection to endure the harshness of first frostbites! Wind turbines located in colder climates face additional challenges such as: Accumulation of ice on wind turbine blades resulting in reduced performance; Expensive and difficult for O&Ms to do on site inspections. With such challenging conditions, it can be reassuring to have a solution like Windfit that can remotely monitor performance and alert asset managers for …
The Energieallianz Bayern (EAB) is an association of municipal utility companies. In addition to technical and commercial management, EAB's park management also includes wind park optimization and asset management. They chose to rely on Windfit solution to remotely check under-performances on their fleet. The automated digital solution determines the cause of power loss on each equipped turbine and checks the results of corrective actions performed to make sure that the machines are performing at their best. "A machine can be …
We're super excited to introduce you to our newest team member in the business development department. Maria is coming from Peru 🇵🇪 to join the family with her radiant energy ⚡️, smile 😀, skills 📊 and experience to sell Windfit all over the globe 🌎. She'll be working alongside Arnaud to bring Windfit to your windturbine's doorstep. Big hearty welcome to you !!
Wondering how Windfit can double up as a LIDAR? What's a yaw misalignment? When your turbine is not facing the wind appropriately, its yaw is misaligned, leading to loss in production and increased turbine loading. When the yaw is misaligned, the machine "thinks" it's facing the wind while in reality, the wind comes sideways. This gap is what explains the loss of production. In order to extract the maximum energy from the wind to produce the most of electricity possible, …

Offshore wind is steadily growing, with more than 20 GW installed in Europe alone. Climate change is accelerating the need for swift transition to renewables as well, and the European Commission agrees. The ambitious target to achieve 450 GW by 2050 in order to keep temperature rises below 1.5°C is pushing offshore wind farms to the front of the line in order to meet the demand. But how can we make sure that offshore windfarms aren’t just available but operating …
Sereema continues to blaze the trail as we expand our turbine brand base! With the latest installation on ENO turbines in Germany, we now equip 13 different brands, including the top 5 Western manufacturers of 2019, Vestas, GE, SiemensGamesa, Nordex and Enercon. The Sereema team is delighted about this phenomenal performance and is happy to report that this year alone, we have equipped 479 turbines!
In today's world, wind farms have achieved technical availability of 99% which implies that wind turbines need less than 100 h per year of downtime. If wind turbines are available to produce electricity for 361 days out of the year, why should we care about performance? It is now widely accepted in the wind industry that one should acknowledge the fact that wind turbines are often operating in very unfavorable weather and site conditions with their operation being difficult to …
Great day for Team Sereema as we continue expanding our global footprint! Today we at Sereema installed Windfit boxes with 4 different clients in 3 different countries, both on AND off shore. Congratulations Total Eren, Finerge, Iberwind and EWE. Windfit thus reinforces its presence in Germany, Portugal and Greece and contributes to customer success with increased AEP through turbine optimization!
