About a decade ago, the wind industry became aware that wind farms in general were producing less energy than predicted. At that time, projects were falling short in production by roughly 10% on average relative to preconstruction P50 estimates made several years earlier.

AWS Truepower’s Wind Developer’s Suite is a comprehensive set of consulting services, software tools and data products for supporting every phase of wind plant development from initial site prospecting to final design and energy estimation.

Modern computers and the systems that run on them are amazingly powerful. They can “auto-magically” gather almost any type of data, at any frequency, and store it away for later examination. In the renewable energy generation space, SCADA systems collect data from hundreds of sensors that monitor equipment health, performance and state of operation. The value of that data, and its ability to optimize plant performance, depends on its quality.
