Offshore Wind Energy Innovators Initiate Strategic
Partnership
WindSim and AXYS Join Forces to Help Offshore Wind
Developers
BOSTON, MA -- May 18, 2009 -- WindSim today announced that it
has initiated a strategic partnership with AXYS Technologies Inc.
(AXYS) aimed at helping wind developers design more profitable
offshore wind farms.
WindSim's wind farm design software will be bundled with every
sale of the recently launched AXYS WindSentinel(TM) offshore wind
resource assessment buoy. The complementary advanced technologies
provide a compelling combination of new offshore wind data
collection techniques with proven wind farm design and modeling
tools.
The WindSentinel is an advanced offshore wind resource
assessment buoy capable of measuring wind at wind turbine hub
height and beyond by using a next generation laser wind sensor.
This is the world's first wind resource assessment buoy that uses
solid state LIDAR as a modern replacement for the often less
accurate, more difficult to deploy, and ultimately more expensive
traditional approach of anemometers mounted on fixed met masts.
WindSim currently employs powerful computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) techniques to identify and model wake effects and other
atmospheric forces to optimize turbine placement. The company now
confirms that expanded offshore-specific functionality is underway.
Offshore wind farm developers must consider these effects to
achieve their goal of maximum annual energy production (AEP).
"WindSim and WindSentinel are a clear fit," said Dennis Stacey,
international business development executive for renewable energy
at AXYS Technologies. "Our central goal is the same: to help our
customers make the best decisions possible when they design wind
farms by delivering solutions that use the latest advances in
technologies."
"The high-fidelity data obtained with advanced wind data
collection technologies like LIDAR help make our models even more
precise, more meaningful, and more valuable," noted Robert D.
Buckley, president of WindSim AMERICAS. "Quality wind resource data
plus our unrivaled CFD-based modeling equals more profitable wind
farms. We will continue to raise awareness of that simple equation
with partnerships like this and applaud the impressive innovation
in this space."
