Wood recently supported TerraForm Power with power performance testing (PPT) at South Plains I Wind Farm located near Lockney, Texas, USA. The 200MW site consists of 100 Vestas V100 wind turbines.
Wood was appointed to undertake power performance testing as part of TerraForm Power’s standard process of verifying the wind turbine generators (WTG) power curve guarantee on a subset of its wind turbine generators. As part of the scope of work, Wood’s engineers and consultants designed and installed calibrated power performance monitoring systems in the six WTGs and filtered and analysed the data from the WTGs and the met masts to assess the performance.
