DNV has been chosen by the Iberdrola Group to perform power curve verification at the Bay of St. Brieuc offshore wind farm, using nacelle lidar technology.
DNV’s power curve verification project includes the design, commissioning, and execution of a power performance measurement campaign for three turbines, along with the installation of all necessary equipment to ensure the campaign meets accreditation standards. Before deployment, the lidars will be calibrated at DNV’s testing facility in Germany to comply with the IEC 61400-50-3:2022 standard. The power curve verification will enable Iberdrola to align actual energy production with initial projections, improving the accuracy of economic models for the wind farm. Developed by Ailes Marines, a subsidiary of Iberdrola, the 62-turbine farm has been fully operational since May 2024.
