windalytics Alignment
windalytics Alignment is ventodyne's standardized SCADA-based diagnostics service for identifying hidden wind farm performance losses. We screen historical wind farm data for yaw northing calibration issues, wind vane misalignment, wake-aware turbine underperformance, and suspicious changes over time that may be causing avoidable energy loss.
The result is a concise, prioritized assessment with turbine-specific recommendations that your team can act on directly.
About windalytics Alignment
windalytics Alignment is designed for operators, asset managers, and technical teams who want a fast, structured first view of whether turbines are quietly leaving energy on the table.
The goal is not to run a fully bespoke engineering investigation, but to reveal where follow-up action is most justified using existing SCADA data and basic site information.
What windalytics Alignment checks
We use historical SCADA data together with farm layout and turbine information to screen for the most common hidden performance issues.
-
Yaw northing calibration issues.
-
Wind vane calibration issues and related losses.
-
Wake-aware turbine underperformance.
-
Detectable jumps, drifts, and suspicious changes over time.
-
Other turbine-specific patterns that suggest operational follow-up is worthwhile.
What clients get
The output is built to support action, not just diagnosis.
-
A turbine-by-turbine view of calibration and performance issues.
-
Indication of when issues appear to have started or changed over time.
-
Estimated yaw and vane calibration values, where supported by the data, that can be used to correct miscalibrations and related performance losses in practice.
-
A concise final report plus one review call.
Typical inputs
-
Historical SCADA data at 1-minute or 10-minute resolution.
-
Farm layout and turbine types, ideally supported by an existing energy yield assessment.
-
Past vane calibration corrections or related metadata, if available.
Why this works
This offer builds on ventodyne's SCADA and wake-steering experience, including work where turbine misalignment is intentionally introduced and analyzed under real operating conditions. That makes the service especially strong at recognizing subtle misalignment signatures in real wind farm data and linking them to likely energy loss.
What it is not
- Not a root-cause proof for every anomaly.
- Not a guarantee that every turbine will yield a correction value.
-
Not a bespoke wake-loss, repowering, or portfolio-wide study.
If your question goes beyond this standardized screening, windalytics Custom offers a tailored, data- and model-driven analysis for site-specific planning, assessment, and operational questions.
Curious whether hidden calibration losses are affecting your park?
With historical SCADA data and a small amount of site information, we can provide a fast, prioritized view of where action is likely worthwhile. Start with a short scoping call to review data availability, timeline, and expected deliverables.
