Digital ekonomi Vindenergilagringskoncept

Digital Ekonomi Digitaliseringen har på kort tid ritat om kartan för internationell handel och kopplat samman världen på tidigare oanade sätt. Samtidigt har de globala reglerna inte hållit jämn takt …

What are digital applications in wind generation?

Digital applications are deployed to diferent stages and functionalities of wind generation, from wind turbine manufacturing and construction to system integration and wind farm Ο&M. Figure 2 illustrates major digital applica-tions in wind farm O&M, wind turbine manufacturing and construction and a set of generic technology applications.

How will digitalisation affect the cost of wind energy?

The costs of wind energy will continue to decrease thanks to new technologies e.g., rising turbine sizes, capacity fac-tors and optimisation in developing and operating wind farms. The digitalisation of wind farm development, oper-ation and maintenance (O&M) will be a major driver of cost reduction, beter performance and lower financial risk.

How can the wind sector accelerate the momentum of digitalisation?

With that in mind, the wind sector needs to accelerate the momentum of digitalisation. This requires seting common definitions and wind energy digitalisation termi-nology and metrics. As it stands, universal definitions to describe major digitalisation applications and metrics to assess their benefits are both lacking.

Can digital applications improve wind farm O&M optimisation?

Below we present two case studies of digital applications in wind farm O&M optimisation: (1) an asset dashboard tool optimising O&M in an international fleet of wind and solar assets and (2) an analytics tool identifying ear-ly-stage failures of gearboxes in a wind farm with 100 wind turbines.

Which countries are driving digitalisation in wind power & solar PV?

Digitalisation in wind power and solar PV has been driven by the US, Germany, Denmark and Japan. Smart energy transition includes a widespread deployment of clean energy technologies and intelligent energy management with information and communication technologies (ICTs).

How can digital visualisation help a wind farm?

Digital visualisation and wind farm monitoring help to address losses based on wake efect, wind shear and lay-out optimisation. Software platforms and tools strengthen advanced probability models for wind and waves, includ-ing extended weather forecasting, which translates into eficient logistical planning and load conditions.
