FLOW Project presented at WindEurope’s Technology Workshop 2026 in Rotterdam

The FLOW Project was represented at WindEurope’s Technology Workshop 2026 in Rotterdam, where project partner Bjarke Tobias Olsen from DTU Wind and Energy Systems presented FLOW’s work on the large-scale validation of wind farm models for pre- and post-construction power production estimation.

The presentation highlighted one of the key challenges for the wind energy sector: improving confidence in wind farm performance predictions. Accurate estimates of annual energy production, both before and after construction, are essential for project planning, investment decisions, operational strategies, and long-term performance assessment.

Within FLOW, partners are working to validate wind farm models at scale, helping to strengthen the reliability of energy yield predictions and reduce uncertainty. This work supports better assessment of wind farm performance and contributes to more robust decision-making across the project lifecycle.

By focusing on both pre-construction and post-construction power production estimation, FLOW aims to bridge the gap between expected and actual wind farm performance. This is particularly important as the European wind energy sector continues to expand and as the need for accurate, bankable, and transparent modelling tools becomes increasingly important.

WindEurope’s Technology Workshop provided a valuable opportunity to share FLOW’s progress with the wider wind energy community and to exchange insights with researchers, industry experts, and stakeholders working on the future of wind energy.

The contribution from DTU Wind and Energy Systems reflects FLOW’s broader mission to support improved wind farm modelling, stronger uncertainty assessment, and better AEP prediction as Europe moves towards a net-zero energy system.

The FLOW Project will continue working with its partners to advance model validation, improve performance assessment, and contribute to more reliable and efficient wind energy deployment across Europe.
