Wind Turbine Fulfillment Center A Streamlined Approach to Knowledge Capture, Retention and Communication for Wind Turbine Suitability Analysis

摘要

The set up of a wind farm involves multiple analysis steps to determine the feasibility of installing wind turbines in specific locations. In addition to considering government, environmental and legal policies, it is essential to determine the engineering feasibility of installing wind turbines of a selected make and model. The engineering feasibility of a specific wind turbine is based on ambient wind conditions, turbulence and geographical data in the selected location and the capabilities of the selected wind turbine model. This engineering evaluation involves site-specific suitability analysis. Typically, various stages of the suitability analysis are performed by experts in their localized environments, often spread across multiple geographic locations. Though the multiple analysis results are always manually integrated to produce the final evaluation, it is difficult to avoid inconsistent methods, human errors and the loss of technical and process knowledge.
