Development of new control algorithms that treat the entire wind plant as a holistic controls optimization problem. To optimize energy capture for individual assets with the wind turbine-centric controls. To develop a better understanding of the wind flow resource, and its dynamics between wind turbines.
To evaluate how the novel control algorithms impact the reliability of the wind farm optimizing the operation and maintenance costs, hence easing the deployment of renewable wind energy within the energy mix and accelerating its roll-out. To evaluate the total economic worth of the new wind farm control algorithms maximizing the potential payoffs coming from the new technology and contributing to the European Security of Supply.
To evaluate the overall value chain of the new control strategy through a Life Cycle Assessment, including supplies, production, distribution, use and disposal as well as all intervening transportation steps necessary or caused by the equipment’s existence. This is especially relevant in case of modifications of existing wind farms.
Creation of green business opportunities and jobs, fostering the European competitiveness and increasing the public acceptance of wind energy. To improve design norms affecting the loads and power performance of individual wind turbines by integrating new designs of the wind farm and the individual wind turbines.
Thanks to these synergies, the project advances in the management of the superController which allows the control of the wind farm as a hole CL-Windcon partners: CENER (National Renewable Energy Centre of Spain), Polimi (Politecnico di Milano) and TU-Delft (Delft University of Technology) have attained......
The CL-Windcon project has recently celebrated its third General Assembly Meeting in Pamplona, hosted by CENER (National Renewable Energy Centre of Spain). During the event, the partners have showcased the main advances of this European project, focused on a new way of approaching the design......
Next June 15th the Global Wind Day will be celebrated, an annually event about the success of wind energy that will be coordinated by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), WindEurope and different national associations WindEurope is the voice of the wind industry, actively promoting......
