W'wave

🌍 Exciting strides in wind energy at #WindergyIndia2024! Last week, our CEO Manuel Alcocer represented W'wave at the Windergy India conference, invited by the CDTI Innovación - Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación. Manuel joined the INDIA-SPAIN MEET FOR WIND ENERGY R&D COOPERATION panel, supported by India's National Institute of Wind Energy. Leading academics and industry experts from Spain shared pioneering insights and new technology advancements, exploring collaborative opportunities with Indian partners. 💡 W'wave’s contributions? Manuel presented our latest innovation in #concentratedwindpower - a transformative approach and #breakthrough #technology to optimize artificially the wind resource in wind farms. With our WindWaves, wind farm developers can enhance #production, #profitability, and #competitiveness by increasing the average wind speed and minimizing wake effects, enabling more flexible turbine siting. This advancement allows for higher-powered, more compact wind farms, making better use of development areas. #India stands as a key market for us, thanks to its abundant wind resources and favorable, consistent wind directions. We’re thrilled to collaborate with local partners to support India’s wind energy growth by "Optimizing Wind". Calling all wind operators in India: Contact us to assess how W'wave can optimize wind in your wind farm! #RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability

Let's produce wind energy with agricultural straw.   In today’s #EarthDay, W'wave presents its new #BioWindWaves, a new solution for two problems:   Problem 1: Many wind farms in the World run the risk to be unprofitable and/or are below its production expectations (i.e.: <P50).   IntelStor, the renowned renewable energy market research and business strategy consulting firm, has identified a staggering 14GW of onshore wind energy projects in the US that are unprofitable. And a high amount underperforming production-wise in relation to expectations (<P50). Check out their analysis -> https://lnkd.in/dKQ2VudT   Problem 2: Climate change, with its impact in the higher frequency of droughts, can severely reduce periodically the agricultural straw production on which the agricultural, livestock and biomass/biogas industries rely.   To tackle these problems, W'wave presents a novel approach: Optimizing the wind resource in wind farms so that its wind turbines can harvest more energy at lower cost-of-energy #LCoE. How can we improve the wind resource of a wind farm? We do it through our #WindWaves, a new hardware component for wind farms that improves artificially the wind speed, wind shear and turbulence intensity in wind farms.   Windwaves were first designed as permanent structures, typically made out of steel, to be installed in wind farms, anchoring them to the ground through piling or by building a foundation.   However, in order to provide our Customers with a more agile and certain way to install WindWaves in their wind farms, W'wave has developed a new and advantageous product: BioWindWaves.   Crafted from straw bales in a Lego-like structure, BioWindWaves offer a low-cost, low-risk, #modular, #circular and #sustainable solution for wind resource optimization.   In addition to the benefits for the wind energy industry, BioWindWaves create a new way to stock agricultural straw in the long-term, to reuse it in times of straw scarcity.   It is thus a new way to mitigate the impacts of Climate Change, hybridizing agricultural biomass and wind energy, and opening up a new wave of collaboration between the agricultural industry and the wind industry. We have called it "Agrowind".   Get to know more through our Linkedin article below.   Connect with us through LinkedIn or shoot us an email at info@wwavenet.com to learn more about this game-changing product and how it can empower the wind industry and the agricultural industry to #optimizewind in wind farms.

W'wave is thrilled to announce our participation in the upcoming "Hack the Climate" Hackathon, organized by WindEurope, Vestas, HUB Ocean, and Microsoft. Set to unfold at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre just ahead of the WindEurope Annual Event (March 20th-22nd), this innovative initiative is geared towards propelling the wind energy sector forward. 🌬️ "Hack the Climate" partners are inviting designers, developers, data scientists, analysts, and wind energy experts to collaborate with industry giants and harness the power of their monumental data sets: Vestas’ Climate Library, HUB Ocean’s Data Platform, and Microsoft’s Planetary Computer. 🌍💻 At W'wave, our dedicated team members, including María Manuela Rosales Cardenal, Peter Grabau, and Manuel Alcocer, are eager to dive into these vast data resources to craft groundbreaking solutions that will drive the green transition forward by tackling pressing business and technical challenges head-on. 💼💡 If you're attending WindEurope event in Bilbao, we invite you to connect with us and discover more about W’wave and our technology solutions to Optimize Wind in wind farms so that we can take wind energy to the next level of competitiveness. 💨💡 Join us in shaping the future of renewable energy! #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #Innovation #CleanTech #Sustainability #WindEnergy #OptimizeWind

Mind the Gap! Between Wind 🌬️ and Solar🌞 PPA prices. LevelTen Energy's analysis (see graph below) reveals a widening gap in average Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) prices between wind and solar projects in Europe and the US since mid-2020. (Source: https://lnkd.in/gtRQBrBN). This gap calls for strategic attention. 🌍 A Call to Action for Wind Energy Wind energy, a stalwart in the renewable energy mix, must regain its competitive edge to achieve higher product delivery volumes. High volumes are key to profitability, given the substantial investments and fixed costs associated with developing wind energy's engineering and manufacturing assets. 🔄 Breaking the Vicious Circle A reduction in wind energy's competitiveness could lead to a decrease in industry volumes, affecting the bottom line of the industry and perpetuating a challenging cycle. We need to break this cycle. 💡 Innovation: The Catalyst for Change At W'wave (www.wwavenet.com), we believe that the key to enhancing competitiveness and productivity lies mostly in #innovation in all its forms. Our #Mission is to empower the wind industry by optimizing the quality of the raw material of wind energy: wind itself. 🔄 Optimizing Wind for Greater Productivity and Competitiveness By improving the wind farm's original wind characteristics (wind speed, turbulence intensity & wind shear), our innovative solutions, the WindWaves, enable wind energy developers and operators to produce more energy at a lower cost from existing and future wind farms. We work within the existing wind turbine technology paradigm, ensuring a positive impact on the entire present value chain. 🚀 Join Us on the Mission! We invite you to be part of our mission: -As a Wind Farm Operators/Developers: Test and install our products in your wind farms to optimize your wind resource. -As a Talented Professional: Join our team and fill our job vacancies. -As a Wind Turbine Manufacturer: Collaborate with us to optimize the "Optimized Wind + Wind Turbines = Wind Energy" equation. -As a Construction Company: Install our products in your customer's wind farms. -As a Component Manufacturer: Source your components competitively into our products. -As a Cleantech Investor: Explore partnership opportunities (Investment round open.
