A turbine blade’s journey spans far more than its years in operation and every stage brings decisions that affect future reliability, output and cost. Blade lifecycle management means making informed structural decisions at every phase of a turbine blade’s life, from design and procurement through operation to final decommissioning. The…

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 2%, 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.

Smart Pilot enables automated blade inspection with reduced downtime in a single flight
London, United Kingdom – 16 June 2026 – RES’ Digital Solutions business has launched Smart Pilot, a data capture software that automates wind blade inspections in a single turbine stop, reducing downtime while maintaining high-quality image capture on standard DJI hardware. Traditionally, blade inspection required stopping a turbine three times to position each…
Validating wake steering with open data: LiDAR measurements and uplift analysis from a commercial wind farm
Wind farm flow control and adaptive pitch control are two of the most promising levers for improving AEP at operating wind farms, yet independently validated results from real commercial sites – published openly for the industry to scrutinise – remain the exception rather than the rule. These two papers present…
