Industry Challenge
Wind farm aerodynamic losses are among the most persistent and underdiagnosed performance gaps. Blade surface roughness from leading-edge erosion, insect contamination, and ice residue degrades lift coefficients and increases drag, causing turbine-level AEP losses of 2–5% that accumulate silently across multi-year operating periods. These losses are indistinguishable from resource shortfall in standard SCADA reviews without normalised power curve comparison, leading operators to attribute aerodynamic underperformance to wind resource variability rather than remediable physical degradation.
Virentis Initiative
Virentis applies normalised power curve benchmarking at turbine level, controlling for air density, turbulence intensity, and wind shear. Deviations from reference curves are tracked across wind speed bins and trended over time to distinguish leading-edge erosion signatures from wake effects or sensor drift. Agents quantify the AEP impact of observed degradation and rank turbines by potential yield recovery from blade repair or coating treatment, generating evidence packages for O&M decision support.
