Midgard Project Support
TrønderEnergi selected Meventus to support their wind turbine procurement process for the Midgard project cluster in Central Norway, consisting of Sørmarkfjellet, Stokkfjellet, Frøya, and Hundhammerfjellet. Meventus lead the procurement strategy development and implementation, resulting in Turbine Supply- and Service agreements...Production Index Assessment of All Norwegian Wind Farms (NVE)
Summary Meventus has provided the annual report of wind speed and production index levels for all 40 operational Norwegian wind farms to the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE)) starting with the 2018 production year....Managing Windfarms in Markets with Volatile Energy Income
Summary Windfarm owners are struggling to keep their windfarms profitable in markets like Sweden, where revenues from renewable energy have dropped significantly in recent years and where windfarm revenues are exposed to the volatility of the energy market prices. The objective of…
Wind Power in Forest – the Effects of Clearings
Summary The wind flow over forested terrain is characterized by a slowdown in wind speeds, higher wind shear and increased turbulence. High wind shear and turbulence are factors that increase fatigue loads on turbines, and most turbines today are not…
Lidar in Complex Flow
Summary Flow re-circulation and other complex flow phenomena occur frequently in complex terrain. These phenomena cause high turbulence, and can impose high loading and maintenance costs to exposed wind turbines. Most flow modelling tools struggle to predict the presence or behavior of these…
Instant Wind – Model reduction for fast CFD computations
Summary The purpose of this study is to develop a method that allows using CFD results for fast wind flow calculations. CFD models are computationally intensive, which limits its application for wind resource assessment. CFD calculation times for wind flow…
Investigation of Potential Data – Mining Techniques for failure analysis...
Summary Turbine failures causing downtime are costly in terms of both production loss and cost of repairs. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are used to control the turbine, log the history of the turbine states, failures and alarms….
Lidar in Complex Terrain
Summary Lack of experience constrained the use of wind Lidars in complex terrain at the time of the study, despite its potential cost savings. While uncertainty of Lidars in flat terrain is well documented, there are few estimates of Lidar...Blaiken – Wind turbine & service procurement
Blaiken: Meventus’ consultants managed the procurement of 99 wind turbines and saved more than mio€ 60 Situation and objective Utility client with ambitious plans in wind energy and secured finance backing from own balance sheet Determined to utilise the financial…
