The challenge Typically, wind turbines operate to maximise their own energy production, without consideration of their interaction with other turbines across the whole wind farm. They also each have very good information about the wind flow at their location, but they don’t share this information across the wind farm to…

TuneUp - maximise wind turbine efficiency
Delivering significant improvements in wind turbine efficiency and energy production using our proprietary software solution.
Enhance power output
Wind turbines are equipped with control systems . However, while these factory settings are engineered to perform well under typical conditions, they may not be perfectly tuned for specific site or the turbine’s condition. By adjusting control settings to be consistent with actual conditions, TuneUp can improve the turbine’s power output beyond factory defaults.
TuneUp has the potential to achieve Annual Energy Production (AEP) improvements ranging from 0.5% to 2%, with additional gains possible when used in conjunction with other technologies like AeroUp. It is also used alongside Dynamic Yaw to maintain optimal settings, even when a turbine is deliberately misaligned for wake steering.
Our process
We harness extensive operational data and advanced analytics to gain a deeper insight into both current and potential performance, enabling the maximisation of your assets. Our dedicated team manages the entire process, making it seamless and straightforward for you
1. Collect turbine data
We gather high-frequency turbine data along with key parameter values to establish a comprehensive foundation.
2. Analyse
The collected site data is processed through our proprietary models, optimising parameter settings for maximum efficiency.
3. Deploy to test turbines
Optimised, turbine-specific or site-wide parameter values are deployed either on-site or remotely to test turbines.
4. Validate performance
We validate performance improvements through a before-and-after comparison or using the toggle method to quantify the AEP gain.
5. Roll out to full site
Upon successful validation, the optimised settings are rolled out across the remaining turbines on the site.
