Meteodyn WPA

Meteodyn WPA is a wind farm performance analysis software. The software automatically analyzes SCADA data from wind turbines and then presents the data as graphs or combined indicators. Data from wind farms and wind turbines can be analyzed in-depth and in a more understandable way.

The wind farm performance processing and analysis software

The software automatically detects and classifies the operating status of wind turbines into different categories without the use of turbine status indicators. This feature allows to evaluate the actual power curve of the turbines at the site and to compare it to the manufacturer’s power curve.

The resulting curves can then be analyzed over time using the Data Crossing tool. This makes it possible to detect loss of energy production, analyze wind turbine failures and diagnose underperformance.

Meteodyn WPA will facilitate the evaluation of downtime and energy loss caused by failures, grid control or maintenance operations.

Diagnosis and evaluation of wind farm performance

location

Computation of statistical parameters of wind turbines and wind farms

  • Production: Real, daily average, loss
  • Capacity factor
  • Average wind speed
  • Availability based on runtime or production
location

Smart detection of the wind turbine's operating status

  • Measurement error
  • Normal, curtailment, stop
  • Underproduction, overproduction
location

Wind turbine failure analysis feature

  • Measurement error and turbine failure for each turbine
  • Computation of reliability indicators: MTTR, MTTF, MTBF
location

Comparison of wind turbine and wind farm production

Comparison of actual and potential production of wind turbines and wind farms with a monthly and cumulative view for the entire wind farm or for each turbine.

location

Comparison of the actual wind turbine power curve with the manufacturer's power curve

Automatic reconstruction of the wind turbine’s SCADA power curve corresponding to its normal operating state at the site and comparison with the manufacturer’s power curve.

location

Compliance with standards

Correction of the SCADA power curve using meteorological data according to IEC 61400-12-1 standard.

Strengths

An independent and powerful tool to process large amounts of data

Meteodyn WPA is not restricted to a particular wind turbine manufacturer. It is suitable for all brands and types of wind turbines as it requires only a few measured variables.

The software does not use wind turbine status indicators or error codes generated by the manufacturers. It requires only raw SCADA data from wind turbines in time series, including wind speed and direction measurements, and production data to operate.

Accurate analysis through data crossing

The software allows to analyze the cross correlation between any given trio of wind turbine parameters.

It is also possible to select time sequences for more detailed analysis.

Offline use available

The software works offline. The software does not require a constant connection to the SCADA database to analyze the data.

Indeed, the imported SCADA data remains stored in your database, ensuring that it is always available for analysis.

An ergonomic user interface

Monitor the operational status of your wind farms with world map visualization. All your projects are consolidated on a single map, simplifying the monitoring of your wind farms.

Import with ease

Easily import your meteorological data from any source:

  • Measurement mast,
  • Mesoscale,
  • Weather station,
  • Etc.

Integrated geographical data

Orography:

  • SRTM 90m corrected ;
  • SRTM 30m.

Roughness:

  • CLC 100m_2006 ;
  • NLCD 30m_2006 ;
  • NLCD 30m_2011 ;
  • ESA 300m_2010.

Enhanced collaboration across teams

Easily develop teamwork with remote access to a shared database for all users.

This means you can work on the same projects without exchanging files.

Options

Project Assistance

Benefit from scientific expertise and in-depth analysis of your projects.

Our team of experts is here to help you with consulting services.

HPC version

The HPC version allows you to optimize your computing resources by using an external high performance server.
Additionally, it provides a better security for your data, as an external storage limits the risks.

Minimum system requirements

Environment: Windows 8.1 and 10, or Windows Server 2016 and 2019.

Testimonials

We’re using Meteodyn WPA to analyze the SCADA data from our wind farms, and we found that this software acts as an effective assistant by reducing our workload. After importing SCADA data into the software, the performance of each turbine in the wind farm is determined rapidly through several KPIs. With the help of Meteodyn WPA, turbines/farms with underperformance issues are detected easily, and the software provides several analyses to help finding out the reasons behind those.

With all above, we strongly recommend the Meteodyn WPA software for wind farms SCADA data analysis.
