TuneUp - maximise wind turbine efficiency
Delivering significant improvements in wind turbine efficiency and energy production using our proprietary software solution.
Enhance power output
Wind turbines are equipped with control systems whose factory settings are engineered to perform well under typical conditions. However, they are not perfectly tuned for the specific site or the turbine’s current condition. By adjusting control settings to be consistent with actual conditions, TuneUp can improve the turbine’s power output beyond what is delivered with factory defaults.
TuneUp has the potential to achieve Annual Energy Production (AEP) improvements ranging from 0.5% to 3%, with additional gains possible when used in combination with other technologies like AeroUp. It is also used alongside Dynamic Yaw to maintain optimal settings, even when a turbine is deliberately misaligned for wake steering.
Our process
We harness extensive operational data and advanced analytics to gain a deeper insight into both current and potential performance, enabling the maximisation of your assets. Our dedicated team manages the entire process, making it seamless and straightforward for you.
1. Find optimum settings
We use Anemo technology to gather high-frequency turbine data along with all controller parameter values to establish a comprehensive understanding of the turbine’s current state and capabilities. The data is processed through our proprietary models to calculate optimum parameter settings for maximum production within the turbine’s design constraints.
2. Validate performance
Optimised parameter values are deployed to test turbines. We validate performance improvements through a before-and-after comparison or using the toggle method (preferred) to quantify the AEP gain and uncertainty.
3. Roll out to full site
Upon successful validation, the optimised settings are rolled out across the remaining turbines on the site.

How can we get the most production out of our wind farm for the least risk? 
Controller-based upgrades represent a very low-risk approach to wind farm optimization because (unlike hardware upgrades) they are very simple to deploy and roll back if desired. The combined TuneUp and Dynamic Yaw offering safely optimizes production by ensuring all major control setpoints (pitch, tip speed ratio, yaw) are optimal and that turbines are working together (collective control and wake steering).
Which turbine models does TuneUp support?
RES has completed TuneUp deployments on a range of wind turbines including Siemens CombiStall (1.3MW-2.3MW), Siemens VS (2.3MW and above), Vestas VMP Global (2MW and above), and Senvion MM82. The list of supported models is constantly growing.
What hardware installation does TuneUp need?
No hardware modifications are needed to the turbine whatsoever. The only addition to the wind farm is a computer in an appropriate location on the wind farm network (eg substation). We are also open to the possibility of running our proprietary software on an existing site computer.
How long does TuneUp installation take?
Step 1 (find optimum settings) can take very little time if the wind farm already has Anemo installed.
The longest task is typically Step 2 (validate performance) which usually requires a multi-month validation campaign but can be shorter through use of toggling and if high quality reference measurements (eg masts or LiDARs) are available.
RES recommends continuous optimization as conditions and the turbine’s state inevitably change over time. TuneUp can be deployed with adaptive optimization enabled to ensure the optimum settings are continuously tracked. Alternatively, TuneUp can be deployed as a one-off if that is a better fit.
TuneUp and Dynamic Yaw have been deployed across multiple wind farms, turbine models (Siemens, Vestas and Senvion models), customers and countries. The minimum energy yield increase measured to date across all deployments is 0.6% and the maximum is 3.3%.

The Offshore O&M decisions that define the next 20 years
Offshore wind’s first generation of assets is growing up. Turbines are getting bigger, assets are ageing, and the operational decisions involved in keeping a maturing fleet performing well are multiplying. Research from digital planning and simulation solutions provider, Shoreline, found that almost a third of Europe’s installed wind capacity will…
