C3 Wind Farm Optimization Technology
Category: Other
Developers: National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Product Description:NREL’s Collective Consensus Control (C3) technology transforms individual wind turbines working toward their own goals into connected networks working toward wind farm goals. This powerful, patented approach to wind farm optimization automates turbine control, increasing both energy capture and revenue for power plants worldwide. NREL has a history of taking a plant-level, systems-engineering approach to maximize offshore wind systems’ energy output, lifespan and economic feasibility, while minimizing forces on individual wind turbines.
