Iberdrola continues to make progress in optimising its wind power facilities through the use of advanced measurement technologies . Through its Perseo innovation programme, the company has launched a global challenge to find monitoring solutions that improve the accuracy of wind measurement in its turbines.
This challenge aims to develop new formulas to assess wind speed and direction , using both traditional and state-of-the-art sensors. The solution must be able to be efficiently deployed across multiple wind farms , providing accurate data to improve energy production. The reliability, precision and ease of implementation of the proposed technologies are particularly valued.
Wind measurement: Essential for renewable energy
With more than 400 wind farms operating worldwide and nearly 15,000 wind turbines in operation, the company is leading the transition to clean and sustainable energy. The implementation of wind measurement technologies contributes to the efficiency of its facilities and helps maximize renewable generation in a context of increasing demand for green energy .
The company, which is the largest electricity company in the world by wind capacity , has a solid track record in the sector, with wind installations covering both offshore and onshore wind energy . Iberdrola has allocated a significant part of its investments to the expansion of offshore wind energy projects, especially in France and Germany, where some of its most advanced parks are located.
Opportunities for technology startups
The Perseo programme aims to advance wind measurement and foster collaboration with emerging startups that provide innovative solutions for the energy sector. In addition to the possibility of implementing the winning technologies in existing wind farms, the company offers the winners the opportunity to scale their solutions through commercial agreements , and may consider investing in the selected startups or technologies.
With this step, Iberdrola reinforces its commitment to decarbonisation and the energy transition, seeking technological alliances that allow progress towards a more sustainable and efficient energy model.
