We take responsibility for your renewable energy installations

Identification of underperformance by analysing operating data:

Whether incorrectly set night-time reductions, power reduction due to ice build-up or pitch angle errors, BayWa r.e. InSite software monitors your system operation and energy output continuously, punctually and accurately. Possible degradation of your wind turbines over time can also be detected, e.g. through rotor blade soiling, etc.

Never stop benchmarking! Performance comparison of wind farms:

BayWa r.e. InSite Pro Taxonomy enables a comprehensive comparison of individual or multiple wind farms, helping evaluate the performance of your turbines in the widest possible context. In contrast to performance curve monitoring, we now also analyse the performance of your turbines with regard to all downtimes. Our analyses of over 20 years of operating data and a wind portfolio of 2.5 GW provide valuable insights for a comprehensive risk analysis with the aim of minimising yield losses, downtimes and error rates. These analyses also enable you to evaluate sustainable investment decisions and increase the efficiency of your wind farms.

On the methodology: here we have clustered the status codes of all the relevant WTG manufacturers on an RDS-PP basis in order to create comparability between all WTG manufacturers and types. When major components fail from a statistical perspective, whether the bathtub curve of damage over the service life of a wind turbine really exists, which manufacturer suffers from the most converter damage – all these findings and many more can be derived from this.

Detect faults early and prevent downtime

InSite Pro will report thermal anomalies in all relevant wind turbine components. Our machine learning approach is always complemented by the expertise of our experienced engineers. Our goal is to detect temperature deviations more accurately than the wind turbine itself. Due to the size of our portfolio, we are also able to carry out comprehensive temperature benchmarking with identical wind turbines.

Ensure grid compliance and avoid unnecessary losses

We analyse whether the wind farm is being operated in accordance with grid connection conditions and responding to the grid operator's target values. We also check whether the grid operator is claiming any unauthorised reactive power (increased yield losses or electricity procurement) and how reactive power operation affects the active power supply or the power curve of the wind turbine.

This means custom solutions that always focus on reducing the loss of earnings from your assets. Yields suffer particularly as a result of bat-related shutdowns. Thanks to extensive analyses, we can implement targeted measures to reduce these losses by up to 54%.

Additional services:

• Electricity price brake: calculation and transmission of all relevant data, at that time.

• Retrofits: detection of a possible increase in the performance curve after commissioning retrofit measures by the OEM

The site value must be determined every five years for installations that are remunerated in the tendering procedure in accordance with the EEG 2017 and subsequently. We offer you a regular estimate of the site quality and the resulting value to be applied (“EEG remuneration rate”) in any period from commissioning to the present day, so that you can better plan provisions and financial effects. The site quality is calculated automatically according to the corresponding status categorisation (in accordance with TR10).
