Webinar | The Next Generation of Wind Farm Control: 4 European Projects
The next generation of wind farms will need to be supported by an even more innovative set of physical and digital tools, as well as operational controls, known as wind farm control.
Generally, ‘wind farm control’ refers to the coordination of different wind turbines in a wind farm, to improve the overall farm power production and to reduce structural loading among wind turbines. Much work still needs to be done in this area.
In this context the EU launched the Horizon Europe call "Integrated Wind Farm Control ", aiming to unlock the full potential of wind energy technologies for low-cost, reliable, and clean energy generation. In 2023 the EU granted four projects, ICONIC, SUDOCO, TWAIN and WILLOW, to achieve these innovations. Discover the progress that has been made so far during this webinar!
Sirris is actively involved as a project partner in WILLOW - “Wholistic and Integrated Digital Tools for Extended Lifetime and Profitability of Offshore Wind Farms”.
