"Improving Operational Wind Industry Analyses with Open Operational Assessment (OpenOA)" Video Text Version
Below is the text version for the "Improving Operational Wind Industry Analyses with Open Operational Assessment (OpenOA)" video.
NREL has developed a new open-source software tool called OpenOA.
This first-of-its-kind tool aims to standardize operational analyses of wind power plants.
OpenOA provides a framework for working with wind plant operational data,
And includes a built-in method for calculating annual energy production using operational data.
It facilitates collaboration and methods sharing among wind industry professionals.
The code’s modular design makes this possible, allowing for an array of operations.
NREL seeks user contributions to expand the capabilities of OpenOA.
User contributions can help inform the development of an international published standard for working with operational data.
This standard helps ensure more efficient deployment of wind resources for our energy future.
