Introduction
The Dynamic Yaw Deviation Analysis in the Farsight follows the standard approach for analysis and identification of yaw deviation in wind turbines. It measures the difference between the turbine’s nacelle orientation and the actual wind direction.
How Does Dynamic Yaw Deviation Analysis Help You?
It allows you to view the dynamic yaw deviation for your wind turbines during various times of the day and different weather conditions, thus indicating suboptimal operating conditions. Here are the benefits of this module:
Better Power Production: It highlights the continuous low power production due to misalignment of the wind turbines.
Identify Yaw System Issues: The module provides a detailed view of yaw deviation for early identification of yaw motor delays, improper calibration, or stuck yaw drives.
Reduce Load and Stress: Having better visibility of the issues allows you to keep your wind turbines properly aligned to reduce unnecessary mechanical loads on blades and drivetrain components.
Enhanced Visualization: The module comes together with graphs and plots, helping you to view the way yaw angles vary over time and under different wind conditions, making analysis straightforward and actionable.
