ExpertWind Analysis
Deep engineering, real gains.
Advanced investigations, optimisation campaigns and upgrade validation for performance questions that need deeper engineering, broader data scope and defensible conclusions.
Analysis goes beyond standard diagnostics
Insights helps teams move faster on recurring performance questions. Analysis is for the cases that need broader data, custom engineering methods and expert judgement.
Broader data scope
Analysis can combine SCADA with met mast, lidar, turbine logs, event context and other relevant data sources when the question demands it.
Custom engineering work
Each analysis is designed around the problem itself, using the right methods, assumptions and validation steps for that specific case.
Access to Insights
Results and reports are also made available through Insights views for transparency, follow up and easier discussion with stakeholders.
Where we make a difference
Targeted investigations and programmes that turn operational data into sustained AEP gains.
Power Curve Validation
Absolute performance validation following IEC standards using met mast or lidar data.
Performance Optimisation
Optimisation campaigns to detect underperformance, isolate root causes and deliver sustained AEP gains.
Turbine Upgrade Validation
Quantify software and hardware upgrade impact with rigorous before and after validation methods.
Operational Yield Assessment
Separate true performance losses from external variations such as wind resource, turbulence and wakes.
Performance Due Diligence
Independent technical and performance reviews for commissioning, end of warranty or M&A transactions.
Expert Services
Tailored investigations for complex performance challenges across turbines, farms or portfolios.
For context on how we define performance and what “good” looks like, see our wind farm performance guide.
Monitoring & Optimisation campaigns
Continuous precision monitoring that turns diagnostics into sustained yield improvement, ideal for 6 to 12 month optimisation campaigns or long term site oversight.
