Power Performance Testing

Yield optimization

Validating turbine performance

In a highly competitive global market, turbine manufacturers are launching various power boost and optimization programs to promote power curve increases in their sales documents and warranty provisions.

It is fundamental to compare actual performance on a site with the contracted turbine performance that is often used as the basis for energy and revenue estimation.

From IEC-compliant power performance testing to discrepancy investigations and rectification, a detailed power performance test and analysis can ensure that projects are performing as they should.

Importance of Performance

With trends towards larger rotor diameters, turbines are subject to increasingly complex flow, making it crucial for turbine owners to know how each turbine is actually performing. The power curve is typically verified on the prototype turbine under wind conditions that can be very different to the wind conditions experienced on-sites.

Supporting the project from early machine selection and procurement, K2 Management assists in the negotiation of valid and optimal warranties through to operation and performance validation.
