S2 - Optimal Pitch Settings & Energy Yield
13 Nov - From 12:50 to 14:40
Introduction
Speaking about pitch settings with a specialist working for a wind asset owner is like discussing tactics with an Olympic sailor. This is one of the most advanced challenges facing wind asset owners. It’s complex and needs a dedicated OEM and some non-cheap hardware and software. Not exploring and learning this part of the business means the potential losses will still be hidden in the reports. Some O2O WIND members have done extensive analysis of pitch settings across their fleet only to understand they have been losing a lot of money for a long time.

Ettiene Frans, Plant Operations Manager at ENGIE
Engie is a global leader in the renewable energy sector. Usually, O2O WIND hosts these turbine-specific owners' meetings, but we have asked our dear members to help us in Madrid.
A big thank you to Engie!
Is this your cup of tea?
Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?
Fine-tuning pitch settings to balance between healthy energy production and protecting turbine components from fatigue and damage.
Incorporating complex wind flow patterns and atmospheric conditions into pitch control algorithms to optimize performance.
Managing pitch system reliability and maintenance to minimize downtime and maximize turbine availability.
Addressing challenges related to turbine wake effects and wake-induced turbulence on adjacent turbines' performance.
Ensuring accurate measurement and prediction of wind speeds and directions for precise pitch adjustments.
Mitigating risks associated with extreme weather events, such as gusts and turbulence, through adaptive pitch control strategies.
Joining this discussion with identical peers from other WTG owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
