Operations Optimisation for Wind Turbines
As rotor diameters increase, wind loads on wind turbine blades become increasingly inhomogeneous. This leads to additional mechanical excitation of the entire drivetrain. Such vibrations can be significantly reduced through precise operations optimisation.
Azimuth Calibration
Azimuth alignment can be verified using Lidar measurements or specialised instruments. Maximum Power Point Trackers increasingly demonstrate that optimal operation depends on precise turbine alignment.
Blade Pitch Measurement
Measurement via dual laser or photo method. The photo method is fast and straightforward to apply. Aerodynamic imbalances have historically caused significant losses in annual energy yield.
