Description

OpenFAST is a publicly accessible wind turbine simulation software created by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It enhances the earlier FAST v8 code, merging elements of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, control mechanisms, and structural dynamics to facilitate detailed, coupled nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic time-domain simulations of wind turbines. The tool accommodates various setups, such as onshore, fixed-bottom offshore, and floating offshore turbines. Designed to cultivate an open source developer community among research institutions, industry players, and academic circles, OpenFAST offers a comprehensive software engineering framework that includes well-structured source code, automated testing processes, and compatibility across multiple platforms. Significant updates from FAST v8.16 to OpenFAST feature the creation of a new GitHub repository that centralizes modules, glue codes, and compiling utilities; a revised versioning system; and the implementation of unit testing at the subroutine level. This evolution not only improves functionality but also enhances collaboration opportunities among users and developers involved in wind energy research.

Description

We provide a comprehensive renewable asset management platform that consolidates all your asset information—across various technologies, countries, and currencies—into a unified source of truth that spans from the early development stages and mergers and acquisitions to operational management, ensuring complete visibility throughout your fleet's lifecycle. This platform includes features such as advanced reporting and analytics, automated invoicing, document management, virtual data rooms, management of legal entities, health and safety management, land management, compliance tasks, and offers extensive customization options. A prevalent challenge in the renewable sector is the unreliable data received from the field, and to address this, QBI employs sophisticated algorithms to fill in data gaps, rectify frozen signals, and manage out-of-bounds data, effectively eliminating meaningless key performance indicators. Moreover, our integrated events engine leverages performance data to categorize losses appropriately and serves as a safety net for any missed alarms from on-site SCADAs or overwhelmed control centers, thereby enhancing operational reliability and decision-making processes. This comprehensive solution not only streamlines management tasks but also significantly elevates the accuracy and reliability of data-driven insights.
