As a wind farm operator, your first concern is to ensure smooth operation and make sure that contractual commitments on production levels are met. But it’s possible to do better, and often significantly better, than just continuing with pre-set baseline production levels.

You can generate much stronger profit margins. But how do you decide which optimization actions to put at the top of your actions list? And how can you be certain that the effort and expense incurred will have a positive payback? We’ll be looking at all these issues in this one-hour webinar.

We limit theory to the absolute minimum to focus on these 5 central questions :

1. What is yaw misalignment and how does it affect energy production?
2. How is pitch misalignment different, and does it also affect production?
3. How can you detect and correct both forms of misalignment?
4. How do you correctly monitor turbine yield?
5. Why is north alignment important?
