Description

Openwind, created by UL Solutions, is an innovative software designed for wind farm design and optimization that plays a crucial role in every stage of a wind project's development, helping to devise ideal turbine arrangements that enhance energy output while reducing losses and managing development costs effectively for overall project efficiency. This software empowers users to strategically optimize turbine placements and layouts to drive down energy costs by taking into account various elements such as energy generation, operational and maintenance expenses, and the financial implications of turbine and plant development. Openwind features state-of-the-art wake models, such as the Deep Array Wake Model (DAWM), which effectively analyzes the dynamic interplay between turbines and the atmospheric boundary layer, enabling adjustments to wakes based on varying turbulence intensity and stability conditions. Additionally, the platform provides time-series energy capture analysis that offers granular insights into energy production patterns over time, ensuring comprehensive project evaluation and planning. By leveraging these advanced capabilities, Openwind supports users in making informed decisions that ultimately lead to more efficient and sustainable wind energy projects.

Description

GE Vernova provides a range of Digital Optimization services through its PowerUp platform, aimed at equipping wind farm operators with advanced digital analytics tools that can potentially boost turbine efficiency and enhance annual energy output by as much as 8%. The PowerUp system performs an in-depth analysis of each turbine's configuration, historical performance, and operational data, taking into account the unique environmental conditions of the site, to set a performance baseline and pinpoint opportunities for improving annual energy production (AEP). By integrating turbines with the industrial internet, this platform facilitates real-time adjustments to production based on various factors specific to each turbine, including environmental, operational, and economic influences. This adaptable, results-oriented solution can be utilized for both new and pre-existing service agreements, ensuring that operators are charged solely for verified performance enhancements. Overall, this innovative approach not only maximizes energy production but also supports sustainability efforts in the renewable energy sector.
