Sessions
Optimising operations of existing wind farms
When: Wednesday, 6 April 2022, 16:15 - 17:45
Where: Auditorium 2 - Level 4
Session description
Operational strategies of existing wind farms have a significant effect on lifecycle costs. During this session, various methodologies that optimise operations of wind farms are presented. These methods consider retrofits, power rating schemas, testing methodologies, reliability and loads modelling. The proposed solutions aim to reduce OPEX costs and extend lifetime of operational wind farms.
Learning objectives
• Propose new lifetime extension strategies • Describe the relationship between operating strategies and component reliability • Describe hybrid testing methodologies • Propose control strategies for optimising operation of wind farms
