BURLINGTON, MA. -- December 7, 2020 – WindESCo, a pioneer in renewable energy
optimization announced today a partnership with Capital Power Corporation, a leading
Canadian wholesale power generator, to assess improvements to their Canadian Wind
power plants’ efficiencies by leveraging the WindESCo WeBoost wind optimization
platform.
WindESCo WeBoost combines advanced analytics, proprietary algorithms, and domain
expertise to identify, fix, and optimize wind turbine capacity. Using SCADA data,
machine learning, physics, and experience models, WeBoost detects systematic yaw and
pitch misalignment on individual turbines to provide recommendations and specific actions
to fix inefficiencies in turbine performance.
"Yaw misalignment has a serious impact on energy capture, power quality, and the health
status of wind turbines", said Mo Dua, WindESCo’s Founder and CRO. “Wind operators are
now able to apply advanced analytics to detect anomalies for optimal energy output. Our
WindESCo platform will allow Capital Power to not only identify problems but also allow
wind operators to fix these problems, ensuring turbines are performing to their maximum
design capability."
"We’re excited to see what we can find with WindESCo,” said Jordan Heavenor, Capital Power’s Senior Manager for Renewables in Canada. “We see this approach as next level analytics for us and it supports our progression in not only understanding our assets better but where we can focus our efforts.”
