Edinburgh, United Kingdom
I'm Co-founder of Reoptimize Systems. We tune wind turbines to to achieve typical 2-3% improvement in annual energy production, and simultaneously reduce loads.
About me
Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Reoptimize Systems. Dr. Crozier has a PhD in electrical engineering in the field of optimisation of electrical generators for renewable energies from The University of Edinburgh. He is an experienced software developer and chartered engineer with thirteen years' experience of the renewable energy field.
My organisation
Reoptimize Systems combine turbine performance data with physics based models and machine learning to optimise renewables assets for stronger energy output, longer asset lifespans and lower maintenance costs.
In our recent project on a Siemens 2.3 MW turbine we achieved a 2.1% increase in AEP, and reduced the worst case tower loads by over 20%. This was achieved fully remotely with no changes to the control hardware or software.
Our patented Global Loss Minimisation algorithm represents a paradigm shift in the sector — an end-to-end, zero intervention route to increased performance, lower maintenance expenditure and reduced shutdown time.
