DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider, has successfully completed a landmark joint industry project (JIP) validating wind farm flow control technology (WFFC). Launched in 2023, the initiative united 20 industry leaders to create the most comprehensive dataset and methodology to date for assessing WFFC performance.
This project represents a major milestone, establishing industry consensus on WFFC’s benefits and simulation accuracy—key steps toward bankability. Using DNV’s LongSim software, the JIP analyzed the largest body of test data ever compiled for WFFC, enabling precise energy yield predictions under real-world conditions. The collaboration aligned developers, utilities, OEMs, and energy majors on acceptance criteria, providing a unified framework that accelerates WFFC adoption and offers participants a first-mover advantage. The project confirmed WFFC’s compatibility with existing assets, quantified energy gains, and validated LongSim as a reliable tool for modeling complex flow interactions, empowering stakeholders with data-driven confidence for deployment decisions.
