Engineering Simulation Demonstrates Ability to Impact All Aspects of Wind Farm & Wind Turbine Design
WIND FARM SITING ANALYSISThe ability to help close the 10%+ gap between prediction and reality in Annual Energy Production (AEP), via more accurate physics (turbulence, wake-effects, thermal currents, rough terrain, forest canopy effects).
WIND TURBINE & BLADE ANALYSISAerodynamics, Aero-acoustics drag, separation, transient wind variability’s effect on turbine component fatigue life.
NACELLE THERMAL MANAGEMENTSufficient cooling of components / equipement in hot climates, sufficient heating of gearbox oil in cold climates.
