How are my turbines doing against local conditions?
Windfit Sector Analysis, or how my turbines are doing against the local conditions. Making electricity out of thin air is no easy feat. The wind is a largely changing source of energy. Sometimes it blows, sometimes it doesn’t. The uncertainty of wind is not new. Sometimes it comes from the East, sometimes from the West. Sometimes turbulent, sometimes stable. And wind farms are complex systems, as they actually interact and become part of the same wind: see our wake effects …
Introducing AEP Calculator: a turbine upgrade's analyst
We designed the AEP calculator, a tool that finally shows you a path to combine complex information from multiple datasets to precisely estimate the change in performance on a turbine. The AEP Calculator, the go-to tool to identify and quantify changes on turbine performance Changes in performance coming from different events, such as corrections (previously diagnosed by Windfit), like a yaw misalignment or rotor imbalance, a parameter change on the controller, or a turbine upgrade (both hardware and software), occur …

WindEurope features Sereema's fleet optimization strategy
Glad to be working with key actors through a use case of our solution deployed by #ERGFrance in WindEurope's strategy report for #windenergy energy digitalisation towards 2030. The optimal performance of a single wind turbine is one of the biggest challenges for the wind researchers and industry communities. Advanced sensors for analysing vibrations can also pinpoint abnormal operation periods and can help extend the lifetime of blades and subassembly structures. Our case study presents digital applications in wind turbine performance …
Why should turbines remain under scrutiny during the summer?
Are Summer camps really necessary for wind turbines? Why should turbines remain under scrutiny during the summer? What’s the use when it seems obvious that wind is often on vacation as well? Summer vacations are almost over but we have some food for thought for next season! The advantages of keeping monitoring the turbines during the off season may be missing from your radar. According to Eurostat, around 18 to 19% of the annual wind electricity production is generated during …

Renewables: EU vs USA, same goals different mindsets
Article written by Mus Rezzoug: In a recent discussion, a French IPP CEO explained to me that he had no problem finding funds for hundreds of million euros per year to develop his new wind and solar farms projects. Across the Dover Channel in Scotland, offshore attractivity is so strong that the maximum amount offshore developers could pay for a seabed lease has shot up from £10,000 to £100,000 per km2! Wind industry has access to an abundance of funds …
How is the PPA Model going to evolve in Europe?
As climate change becomes mainstream, more and more corporations have signed on to greening their activities. Market signals also indicate that retail investors in particular have an appetite for supporting corporations that are less about greenwashing and more about actual commitments. Mounting pressure to adapt corporate policies to ESG compliant may be working. 2020 saw the American giants: Google and Amazon signing some of the largest PPA deals in history, with 1.6GW across 18 projects and 650MW for a single …
Heavy investments in Wind industry boosting asset management
Despite the context of a global pandemic, record high orders of over 15GW were ordered in 2020, says Wind Europe. This is one more fact confirming the trend of heavy investments attracted by the wind energy sector in the last few years, with numbers announced for the coming years being even more staggering. The race for new capacity concerns both large utilities (that are gradually becoming as big, or even bigger than the traditional Oil & Gas majors) and "Smaller" …
Wind Electricity Prices bid low in Spanish Auction
25,31€/MWh that’s the lowest ever average bid price for onshore wind in Europe. It’s coming out of Spain last week, after a first auction held under the new government rules. Although many players were served, one can only wonder about the Spanish exception. Kind of reminiscing of an auction a couple of years back, for an offshore wind farm in The Netherlands. Awarded at 42 €/MWh, the conjectures had spread like fever about the whys and hows. So, can Spain …

"A machine can be …
Offshore wind logistics simplied with Windfit monitoring
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 …

How to increase the AEP from wind 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 …

The case for resiliency in the wind industry post pandemic
Life after the pandemic should indeed not be the same. We have all been put in house arrest, and as we come towards the end of this reflection period we have realised that we as a species are resilient. For those of us in the energy sector, wind has consistently proven to be a viable challenger to O&G. Wind energy has resulted in cost and carbon savings both as it reached 44 dollars per kilowatt hour in 2020. But is …

When Rotor Aerodynamic Imbalance impacts WT performance
When Rotor aerodynamic imbalance impacts your wind turbine performance... Windfit is there to help. How? Let us share a client's case where Windfit detected a sudden increase of the aerodynamic imbalance (1). At the same time, a significant plunge of the turbines power curve was observed (2) on the Windfit web portal results. Our client called their O&M ENERCON who, based on Windfit's diagnosis, went on site to check the zero angle of the blades and found a 3° pitch …

Windfit rotor imbalance diagnosis have been confirmed by experts on site on a regular basis. Lately CP.Max Rotortechnik went on a windfarm in Italy on one of our client's request to proceed with iterative pitch adjustements on Vestas V90-3.0 MW turbines after Windfit detected high rotor aerodynamic imbalance levels. Windfit results were used to accurately and precisely follow the intervention. In this case, Windfit showed that after the 1st pitch adjustment, the imbalance level increased instead of decreasing. In the …
