The suite, called Turbine.Architect, uses integrated design algorithms to compute "realistic values" for the capital costs of turbine, balance of plant components, wind farm operational costs, availability and annual energy production into a project's LCoE.

"The tool’s validated engineering models produce concept-level technical specifications for turbine components and farm items, with up-to-date market intelligence translating these specifications into appropriate capital costs," says Ben Hendriks, head of section engineering at DNV GL

"Similarly, operational costs and availability are quantified using models for O&M [operations and maintenance] that are benchmarked with real field data."
