Information

Are you looking for detailed information on wind turbine performance optimisation and lifetime extension measures, tools, their effects, case studies and business cases?

Head2Wind.com is a blog that provides an overview on these topics and such detailed information.

Excellence in Wind Farm Operations

Make sure you tap the full potential of your wind turbines by meeting performance expectations. Optimise your business case with Through Life Management and Lifetime Extension. 

Let us have a joint view in your wind farm operations, data and site conditions. 

Application of Energy Storage

Balancing of renewable energy productions (peak shaving as well as demand side management) and grid stabilisation requirements (inertia, fast frequency regulations) need to be incorporated in your renewable energy project.

We provide an overview on solutions.

Linking Opportunities

Create more than the sum of added values by linking several tools, means and methods in your renewable energy project. Detailed knowledge about the outcome and the added value of each of these solutions is therefore key.

We help you to shape the right bundle of solutions.

Ice detection & restart

Turbine stops due to icing on the blades can be reduced to the absolute minimum cases with real ice on the blades. 

Eologix sensors measure the ice directly on the blade tips and leading edge where it first builds up

Wind site condition measurement & performance monitoring

iSpin measures the wind accurately and precisely in front of the rotor plane undisturbed from the rotor blades. 

Wind speed, inflow angle, yaw misalignment and turbulence intensity based on iSpin measurements provide the basis for performance monitoring & optimisation and life time extension.

Component life time with OEM independent aero-elastic models

Load calculations and component life time assessment are key for Through Life Time and Lifetime Extension assessments.

Nabla Wind Power's independent aero-elastic models provide a probabilistic approach to calculate the remaining component lifetime based on the real conditions in the wind farm.

Aero-dynamical performance improvement

Vortex Generators (VGs) improve the performance of the blades by reducing flow separation. This leads to more torque turning the rotor and thus more energy produced.

Even modern wind turbine blades suffer from a poor aerodynamic performance in the root region. The reasons are blade production and operational limitations. This always leaves room for improvement.

Lean and efficient renewable energy project management

Renewable energy projects are complex infrastructure projects with many stakeholders and suppliers, which require a tight project management.
