NEXTFARM
- Work: Develops tools that are both very accurate and fast for simulating the loads and performance for all the individual wind turbines in a farm
- Main planed innovation: Will be the first tools that can produce state of the art accuracy simulations for all turbines in a farm at near real time speed
- Industry benefits
- Design wind farms with lower LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy)
- Better operation of wind farm by taking into account state, hourly wear and production of the individual turbines vs. the electricity price at that time
- Get the most out of an existing farm by life time and life time extension planning and control
- Project partners:
- Funding: NEXTFARM is a KPN project funded by RCN ENERGIX and the industry partners
