Performance Evaluation
AWS Truewind recognizes there is a great deal of work to be done after your turbines are installed. While wind energy brings with it inherent variability in plant production, good economic performance of your project is not a matter of chance. The key to securing a bright future for your project lies in understanding plant performance, what drives it, and attention to detail during operations. Whether it is performance testing to validate contractual performance, for one turbine or a whole plant, or a pre-warranty expiration evaluation to help ensure it will continue to perform, or an operational assessment of your farm after several years of operation to understand its performance - your plant’s performance should not be left to chance. AWS Truewind can aid you in understanding where you’re at and why, and with that knowledge, help you manage the future and the bottom line of your project.
AWS Truewind has broad based experience with performance evaluations, analysis and testing programs across a range of turbine models and applications. Our services include:
- Site calibration services
- IEC turbine testing
- Plant performance evaluations
- Power curve test programs
- Power quality analysis
- Operational plant performance evaluations
- Pre-warranty expiration evaluations and inspections
- Warranty performance evaluations
- Long term capacity factor projections
For contractual evaluations, AWS Truewind develops complete test programs incorporating strict quality control measures in accordance with industry standards.
Our field-trained engineers are experienced in wind plant construction techniques, commissioning procedures, and wind plant operations, enabling close integration with these efforts as needed. Our engineering team is proficient at the development of customized data acquisition and measurement systems to suit your project’s unique needs. At complex sites, site calibration prior to IEC testing can be a critical path element in the construction of your farm. Careful project management and attention to detail across the measurement program helps ensure timely completion of the efforts, and keeps your project on schedule.
On operational farms we recognize a growing need for evaluation, understanding and projection of wind farm performance given the realities of available data from the project, and the need to limit impacts on the operational equipment and personnel. We are deeply committed to pioneering evaluation methods which make use of your available data to better understand what your expectations should be for the future of your project, and what you may be able to do to improve its performance.
Our practical experience combined with strong analytical skills allows us to deliver thorough and objective assessments of project performance together with complete test results and documentation.
