CTW Presenting at Optimising Wind Power Performance Conference in London

Catch the Wind (TSX-V: CTW) will be presenting at the Optimising Wind Power Performance conference, June 8 - 9 in London, UK. The conference is focused on key areas in wind power performance optimisation and will examine how downtime can be reduced, power yields increased as well as turbine and component lifetime. Catch the Wind is also an official sponsor of the conference.

Presentation Title:
Optimizing Wind Power Performance Using Remote Laser Wind Sensing

Presenter:
Fred Belen
Senior Technical Advisor
Catch the Wind, Inc.

Presentation Summary:

• Sensing the wind 200 to 300 meters in front of the wind turbine enables proactive yaw and pitch control
• Data from extended trial results confirm the advantages of feed-forward yaw control
• Studies indicate that proactive yaw and pitch control
  • Significantly improves power output performance
  • Dramatically reduces stress loading

Catch the Wind will use this opportunity to share our test results and expertise in using forward-looking laser wind sensors to optimally control wind turbines and increase their overall performance. Intelligent wind turbine control using precise feed-forward wind data will change how the industry thinks about optimizing wind turbine performance.
