Simulations tools to enable Asset Life Extension (SALE)

风能行业需要更精确、更高效的工具来计算非定常负荷。这些工具（供在役使用）将为产量和资产寿命决策提供信息。它们将用于降低运维成本，从而降低LCoE。海洋阵列系统公司和海上可再生能源弹射器公司赢得了英国创新公司的支持，他们的模拟能够延长资产寿命项目。这将(1)验证风力涡轮机/阵列的仿真工具，(2)研究控制系统模块的可行性，以帮助农场层面的湍流效应管理。利用来自风力涡轮机位置的（速度和负载）数据集，OAS的模拟能够对特定地点的涡轮机性能进行预测，并考虑到湍流，为业主提供延长资产寿命的工具。

The wind energy industry needs more accurate and efficient tools to calculate unsteady loads. These tools (forin-service use) will inform yield and asset life decisions. They will be used to reduce O&M costs and hence LCoE.Ocean Array Systems and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult have won support from Innovate UK fortheir Simulation to enable Asset Life Extension project. This will (1) validate a simulation tool for wind turbines /arrays and (2) investigate the feasibility of a control systems module to aid farm-level management of turbulenteffects.Using (velocity and loads) data sets from wind turbine locations, OAS’ simulations enable site-specificpredictions of turbine performance, accounting for turbulence, providing owners with a tool to enable asset-life-extension.
