About

OpenFAST is an open source wind turbine simulation tool developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It builds upon the FAST v8 code, integrating aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, control systems, and structural dynamics to enable comprehensive, coupled nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic time-domain simulations of wind turbines. OpenFAST supports various configurations, including land-based, fixed-bottom offshore, and floating offshore turbines. The platform aims to foster an open source developer community across research laboratories, industry, and academia, providing a robust software engineering framework with well-documented source code, automated testing, and a multi-platform build system. Key organizational changes from FAST v8.16 to OpenFAST include the establishment of a new GitHub repository consolidating glue codes, modules, and compiling tools; updated version numbering; and the introduction of unit testing at the subroutine level.

About

GE Vernova's Digital Optimization services, featuring the PowerUp platform, offer wind farm operators a comprehensive suite of digital analytics tools designed to enhance turbine performance and increase annual energy production by up to 8%. PowerUp conducts a thorough historical analysis of each turbine's configuration, performance, and operational history, alongside site-specific environmental conditions, to establish a baseline and identify potential AEP improvements. By connecting turbines to the industrial internet, the platform enables real-time optimization of production levels based on turbine-specific environmental, operational, and economic factors. This flexible, outcome-based solution is available for both new and existing service agreements, ensuring operators pay only for validated performance gains.
