1. An analysis of the discrepancy in availability and production at a wind farm in Sweden
University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskapAbstract : Eolus recently developed, sold and now manage a wind farm consisting of four 2 MW wind turbines located in the northern half of Sweden. Soon after commissioning it was noticed that they were underperforming in terms of production and availability. It was suspected that one turbine was underperforming relative to the manufacturers’ power curve. READ MORE

2. Performance Analysis of Operating Wind Farms
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : This work proposes a methodology to evaluate the performance of operating wind farms via the use of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) and modeled data. The potential annual energy is calculated per individual turbine considering underperforming/loss events to have their power output in accordance with a representative derived operational power curve.

3. INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIAL REASONS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE UNDERPERFORMANCE OF AN OPERATIONAL WIND FARM
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Wind farms are costly projects and prior to the construction, comprehensive wind resource assessment processes are carried out in order to predict the future energy yield with a reliable accuracy. These estimations are made to constitute a basis for the financial assessment of the project. READ MORE

4. Quantify Change in Wind Turbine Power Performance Using Only SCADA Data
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : The power performance characteristic of a wind turbine is defined by its power curve and resulting estimate in annual energy production. It is a key attribute for validating the performance of newly installed wind turbines, and the power curve is monitored throughout the wind turbine life cycle. READ MORE
