  1. 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 naturvetenskap

    Author : Edward Sadler; [2017]
    Keywords : wind; wind turbine;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 2. Performance Analysis of Operating Wind Farms

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Abdul Mouez Khatab; [2017]
    Keywords : Performance analysis; Operating wind farms; SCADA; Operational power curve; Potential energy; Threshold power curves;

    Abstract : 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.

  4. 3. INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIAL REASONS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE UNDERPERFORMANCE OF AN OPERATIONAL WIND FARM

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Renas Tücer; [2016]
    Keywords : Wind Resource Assessment; Advanced Energy Estimations; Wind Farm Underperformance; Overestimation of the Energy Yield; WindSim; WindPro; WAsP; Wind Energy; Wind Site Engineering.;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. Quantify Change in Wind Turbine Power Performance Using Only SCADA Data

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Marcus Carlberg; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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
