Frequently Asked Questions

How does Windfit work?Back to top

Windfit is an independent IoT technology for wind turbine optimization to boost productions.

Through independent and automated high frequency data collection, wind turbines performance is enhanced.

I have an underperforming wind farm, how can Windfit help me?Back to top

Windfit is an independent IoT technology for wind turbine optimization to boost productions.

Windfit is most likely the best tool currently on the market for identifying the root cause of an underperformance on a wind turbine.

With a significant amount of operational wind turbines suffering from rotor or blade misalignments, Windfit can help you detect and correct both.

How is Windfit used by our clients today?Back to top

Windfit is very flexible. Our clients use the system in different ways:

  • In performance mode by permanently installing them on each turbine, focusing on performance optimisation.
  • In diagnosis mode by conducting optimization campaigns and moving the Windfit boxes from one wind farm to the next.
  • In assessment mode, as an independent verification tool to quantify the real impact of a turbine upgrade from the manufacturer (like software updates, vortex generators, or all other enhancements that improve the turbine power curve.)
  • Or just at different stages of the wind farm lifecycle, our clients have used Windfit from commissioning and end of warranty evaluation, to aiding our clients’ turbine lifetime extension and retrofitting decisions, as well as an independent advisor during due diligence analysis for asset buyers/sellers.

The flexibility provided by Windfit means that it is also possible to combine all these strategies to adapt to the specific situation of our clients.

What is the size of the box?Back to top

The Windfit box is the size of a sugar box 😉, measures 250 * 110 * 120 mm and weighs only 600g.

What are the perks of using Windfit when turbines are under full scope contracts from the manufacturers?Back to top

Windfit provides additional high frequency independent data to let you know how your turbine is truly performing under local conditions.

A trusted second source of information to make sure you don't miss out anything that could boost production and provide real-time monitoring.

My wind farm is available 99 percent of the time or we are operating at capacity. Why would I need Windfit?Back to top

Availability and performance are two different things. A turbine with a 99% availability could still be under-performing and not producing optimally.

Using Windfit ensures that your assets are available and optimized for maximum production while preserving the health of your turbines.

Is it possible to move the boxes between turbines?Back to top

Windfit is very flexible. Our clients use the system in different ways: permanently installed to focus on performance, others use it in diagnosis mode by moving boxes between several wind farms after all corrections have been applied and verified.
