Improve Wind Turbine Efficiency

Degraded blades lead to a decrease in wind turbine efficiency and thus a loss in Annual Energy Production (AEP) revenue. Proactive maintenance is critical, inspections performed with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV or drones) are streamlining the industry by gathering data that allows for data-driven decision making for true blade lifecycle management.

Are You Maximizing Your AEP Revenue?

Degraded blade conditions can lead to 5-15% wind farm efficiency loss. This creates a significant gap between potential and actual revenue. Our Revenue Loss Calculator can estimate how much your wind farm could be losing.

Our revenue loss calculator can estimate how much your wind farm could be losing. Degraded blade conditions can lead to upwards of 25% wind farm efficiency loss. This creates a significant gap between potential and actual revenue.
