Monitoring Solution
Turbine Performance Monitoring (TPM) Module
Turbine Performance Monitoring
The key component of the Monitoring solution is the Nexus TPM (Turbine Performance Monitoring) module, which is a software add-on for the Windar Optimisation solution.
The Nexus TPM provides an unbiased set of extremely accurate data relating to the performance of individual wind turbines, the performance of the entire fleet, and the wind field, enabling asset owners to both assess wind turbine performance and formulate data-driven optimisation strategies for enhancing the performance of entire wind farms.

Key Benefits
- Unique solution for precisely monitoring wind turbine performance independently from other data sources
- Monitoring of wind turbine efficiency within ± 0.5% accuracy
- Enables monitoring of both single turbines and entire fleets
Advanced wind turbine analytics
The LiDAR assisted Monitoring solution provides an unparalleled set of reliable wind turbine performance data. This data serves as the backbone for understanding the complex dynamics that affect wind turbine efficiency and forms the foundation for optimisation strategies targeting underperforming turbines.
Tracking precise turbine performance within ±0.5% accuracy
The Nexus TPM module uses accurate wind speed measurements from the LiDAR sensor to precisely track wind turbine performance within ± 0.5% accuracy. Implementing the TPM module with the Windar Optimisation solution thus provides a quantifiable metric for actual turbine performance that is wholly independent of SCADA data.
LiDAR Data Provides More Accurate Turbine Performance Analysis
Comparison between the normalised power in relation to wind speed from respectively SCADA-data and the data from the LiDAR sensor. The data is based on a measurement campaign with six wind turbines in the same wind farm, and as shown, the data from the LiDAR sensors are within an accuracy of ±0.5%
Easy-to-Use Graphical Interfaces
The TPM module includes a dedicated graphical user interface (GUI) that enables asset managers to track and compare the performance of both individual turbines and the entire wind farm fleet. The intuitive dashboard provides real-time visibility into turbine efficiency, historical performance data, and fleet-wide benchmarks, making it easier to identify underperforming assets, plan maintenance strategies, and maximise Annual Energy Production (AEP) across the portfolio.
