Investigating alternative reasons for underperformance of turbines

Wind Industry Profile of

While 2021 saw some of the lowest wind energy production figures in recent times, wind energy operators may be incorrectly attributing reduced power generation solely to low wind speeds, rather than leveraging technology to investigate alternative reasons for wider underperformance.

If not addressed, a trend for over-attributing low production solely to wind resource could be damaging to clean electricity output across European wind farms. That at least, is according to Clir, the leading provider of digital asset performance technology for the wind industry. As European wind asset owners have endured a summer of low wind, peak hour power prices have risen to their second highest level since 2018.
