ACHIEVING PRECISION PERFORMANCE MONITORING
Solving a problem for the wind industry – making power curves more user friendly
Determining the true performance of each windfarm turbine is extremely difficult if not impossible. Performance measurements in windfarms are often limited to single turbines (WTGs) with free wind sectors, defined flat areas and using dedicated met masts. Although LiDARs have the potential to replace met masts they are similarly constrained. Hence the only wind measurement
source available on each WTG is the nacelle anemometry; providing neither meaningful nor trustworthy input for a performance measurement. Here the patented spinner anemometer technology iSpin can change the game and provide more transparency and insights in WTG performance.
FOR EXAMPLE – ISPIN…
• Allows usage of 360° inflow data even in wake of other WTGs or behind obstacles
• Measurements do not rely on transfer functions taken on an unrepresentative prototype site
• Allows valid comparisons between WTGs of the same model across different windfarms in differing terrains

This enables an holistic overview of the performance of individual WTGs, the windfarm and a fleet.
