Unlocking Wind Farm’s Full Potential: The Power of Smart Analysis

Detailed analysis is key to unlocking a wind farm’s full potential. By turning noisy, unreliable data into clear insights, operators can optimise turbine performance, increase energy yield, and make more informed decisions. Discover how smart, cost-effective solutions and tailored action plans can help improve operations and extend the lifespan of wind farms.

North offset: statistics & market trends

Over 40% of wind turbines were identified as presenting a north offset of at least 10°. Extreme North offsets (higher than 90°) remain quite frequent: on over 400MW of wind turbines analysed, 7% were impacted by these major issues.
