Wind turbine AEP prediction tools – ATENEA

Estimation of AEP (Annual Energy Production) and AEP losses based on blade erosion progression due to rainfall and the wind turbine operating conditions.
Developed by:

Wind turbine AEP prediction tools – SALT

Prediction of annual energy production losses resulting from aerodynamic deterioration along different spanwise sections of wind turbine blades.
Developed by:

Curtailment strategy tool – Erosion-safe operating tool

Modelling of the probabilistic progression of leading edge erosion (LEE) in wind turbine blades and support for the design and optimisation of erosion-safe operation strategies, such as tip speed curtailment.
