Predict Performance Impact
Through powerful data analysis software and on-site testing, we provide detailed insights, predict performance impact and help our clients to make confident decisions.
Blade Performance Investigator is an engineering tool that gives owners and operators a deep understanding of their blades’ aerodynamic performance with the opportunity to explore how blade configuration changes improves AEP.
Any degradation of the blade surface condition from a “factory clean” condition will result in a reduction in the power output of a wind turbine. It is critical to understand this relationship so that appropriate mitigation measures can be put in place. The BPI-tool allows owners and operators to analyse the impact of real-world blade conditions on power output.
It can be difficult to decide on the most effective O&M or upgrade strategy for a blade if you do not have visibility of key performance parameters. BPI is able to conduct a detailed analysis of any blade and present the user with its unique aerodynamic signature.
Are you considering installing a leading edge protection solution, or do you want to evaluate the performance risk of a missing aerodynamic add-on? These are two examples of questions that BPI can answer. By carrying out a series of aerodynamic simulations the tool will guide you to make good decisions regarding any changes to blade configuration.
