Whitepaper – Scaling control center operations with Digital Twin-enabled dispatching

In managing distributed renewable energy assets, traditional control center workflows struggle with scale and diversity. When operational teams try to expand their asset portfolios, relying on basic monitoring tools, such as graphs and status flags, becomes inadequate. This limitation is intensified by the proliferation of false alarms generated by standard asset performance management systems, hindering efficient workflows necessary for effective asset oversight.

In response to these challenges, this whitepaper explores the transformative potential of Digital Twin technology in revolutionising alarm systems for distributed renewable energy portfolios.

By prioritising critical issues, enhancing fault detection accuracy, aggregating notifications and reducing false positives, Digital Twin-enabled Smart Alarms facilitate streamlined workflow implementation and improve Service Level Agreement management.

Furthermore, they empower operational scalability by embedding comprehensive asset knowledge into digital twins, thereby reducing dependency on specialized expertise and accelerating onboarding processes for new assets.

Finally, the whitepaper presents a case study highlighting how this innovative approach enhances operational efficiency, optimises resource allocation and strengthens control over distributed renewable energy assets.

How to evaluate turbine power curve performance losses

The impact of turbulence intensity on wind turbine performance is significant, yet there is no consensus on its precise impact on energy yield. To address these uncertainties, wind turbine manufacturers incorporate safety margins into warranted power curves, which can lead to substantial financial implications for wind projects. 3E has developed a simple yet robust method to model the influence of turbulence intensity on wind turbine power curves, with the aim of comparing with the approach used by manufacturers. In this article, we introduce a method for evaluting turbine performance losses, distinguishing between losses site-specific and generic power curve losses. This method is implemented in our Wind Analytics application to monitor the performance of wind turbines, and is also used by our Advisory Services to estimate performance losses in pre-construction energy yield studies.
