When neighboring wind farms steal your wind, margins disappear - Modelling wake losses with Aegir Quant™
With offshore wind zones becoming more crowded, e.g., in the North Sea, production could be cut by double-digit percentages if you don’t plan for external wakes.
For example, in Germany, due to relatively tight turbine and project spacing, it is possible to have wake losses of more than 20% from a combination of internal and external wake effects.
That’s why Aegir Quant™’s External Wake solution has been developed with industry partners, and is available to support competitive bids and risk assessment.
How it helps you win:
🔹 Find the real neighbors of your project.
With just one click you can pull every planned wind farm within 65 km from your project from Aegir Insights' project database – information on estimated project timing, layout, capacity and probability are all pre-loaded.
🔹 Modelling wake losses over time.
Aegir Quant™ models yearly wake impacts as each of your neighboring farms comes online, so you see how yields dip over years.
🔹 See money, not just megawatts.
Losses flow straight into cash-flow and IRR calculations, so you can test best-case vs. worst-case in seconds. You can rapidly change timing assumptions for neighboring wind farms to stress test bid cases with facts rather than feeling.
With Aegir Quant™, you turn a hidden risk into a decision lever.
