Wayne State University received a $224,999 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems on August 1, 2021 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GENERATION VERSUS DEGRADATION: STRIKING THE OPTIMAL BALANCE FOR WIND FARM PROFITABILITY VIA DIGITIZATION, PREDICTIVE AND PRESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS." The research is funded under the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), which supports innovation and excellence in engineering research and education.
Specifically, the three-year project aims to develop digital, predictive and prescriptive analytics tools to help wind farm operators optimize turbine operation and maintenance strategies to balance energy generation and equipment degradation. The tools and models developed over the course of the research are intended to help wind farm owners and operators maximize profitability by more efficiently balancing equipment usage and repair/replacement needs based on real-time performance data.
