SCADA-driven operational diagnostics
ventodyne provides wind farm performance analyses independent of wake steering, leveraging tools and expertise originally developed for wake steering control and analysis.
windalytics Alignment
windalytics Alignment is a fast, standardized SCADA-based check to identify hidden underperformance and common calibration issues—turbine by turbine—without installing additional measurement equipment.
What we do:
-
Detect underperformance while accounting for wind-farm effects (e.g., wakes)
-
Check wind vane and yaw calibration, identifying offsets and drifts, and providing correction values where possible.
-
Pinpoint when suboptimal operation likely started, enabling targeted follow-up and root-cause analysis.
What we need:
-
Wind farm layout and turbine specs (for context and modeling/interpretation).
-
Historical SCADA data export (standard channels are sufficient).
What our clients get:
-
A clear “calibrated vs. not” assessment with a prioritized list of turbines to address first.
-
Actionable guidance for operational parameter adjustments or calibration actions based on SCADA evidence.
-
A concise diagnostic report plus a discussion to align on next steps (OEM ticket, onsite recalibration, or deeper analysis)
windalytics Custom
windalytics Custom is our bespoke, data- and model-driven deep dive, when the question is specific and the answer requires more than a standardized check.
What it is:
-
Client-specific analyses combining historical SCADA with wind-farm modeling to produce a structured and defensible answer.
-
A jointly defined approach: ventodyne proposes a method, aligns it with you, then executes and documents the results.
What our clients can use it for (examples):
-
Wake-loss evaluation (including neighboring-park impacts) and comparison to EYA expectations.
-
Long-term performance deterioration assessment and attribution (separating likely drivers and quantifying trends).
-
Historical wind condition assessment (e.g., for repowering context).
-
Uplift verification: quantify energy gain after operational changes and validate the impact with a robust method.
What our clients get:
-
A clear analysis plan (before significant internal time is spent), documented assumptions, and results that can defended internally and externally.
-
Optional follow-on recommendations for operational actions or additional validation steps if uncertainty remains.
