A range of services that help improve the productivity of your assets.
Our wind power performance engineers perform 10-minute SCADA data analyses on 12 to 24 months of data. These analyses are effective and reliable tools for remotely assessing the performance of your wind farms at any point in their operational life (end of commissioning, end of warranty, end of maintenance contract, sale or acquisition of the farm).
Since 2016, 8.2 has deployed a tool that evaluates the performance of operational wind farms by analyzing historical SCADA data. This analysis is based on a set of indicators and correlations between machine operating parameters targeting availability, production, and performance.
Identify frequent breakdowns and highlight recurring technical issues to monitor on each wind turbine that affect turbine availability.
Verification of the correct implementation of environmental constraints to ensure compliance with environmental restrictions, as well as detection of unexpected constraints that could affect production.
Evaluation of turbine production and power curves to identify the least efficient machines and estimate potential gains.
Study of the causes of variation in wind turbine performance by analyzing the following parameters: pitch angle, rotor rpm, nacelle alignment, etc.
At the end of commissioning, 8.2 recommends analyzing the data from the run tests.
172 rotors
8.2 France measured 172 rotors
for blade angle deviations.
30% of rotors
The last three years have shown that approximately 30% of rotors are affected by aerodynamic imbalance.
« This white paper provides a comprehensive methodology for performance analysis of wind farms using SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) data. »
« Before we start a performance analysis we need to check the availability and completeness of site data. Typically any solar asset has some form of monitoring software which can be used to visualise and download data from site.
