Operational excellence is not just quantified through high availability. Performance assessment and optimization are critical elements to wind farm success.

Performance Assessment

• Nacelle transfer function (NTF) development
• Sensor anomaly detection using statistical methods
• Data surrogation strategy development
• Expected power calculation  
• Efficiency-based turbine rankings 
• Assess turbine performance efficiency using time series analysis 
• Identify systematic operational behavior driven by meteorological phenomena (e.g. shear, stability, turbulence intensity) 
• Condition monitoring and diagnostics
• Loss assessment 
• Power production anomalies
• Customized reporting

Advanced analysis

• Yaw misalignment analysis via nacelle-mounted LiDAR
• Interpret SoDAR data to identify meteorological phenomena that impact turbine performance
• Fault and event code analysis
• Performance change assessment

permanent Met tower

• Monthly data QC
• Analyze sensor data
• Failure and event logging
• Sensor failure detection and notifications
• Maintenance management (e.g. sensor procurement, crew deployment)
