OpenTurbine publishes the methods it uses and the questions it is working on. Each report below states its scope, its method, and its status. None of them is published yet, and nothing on this page is presented as a finding.
Three questions an operator cannot answer from operational reporting alone, and the method each one is being answered with.
How production deficit is distributed across the turbines within a site, and what share of it is attributable to control-side causes that raise no fault and appear in no alarm log.
Per-turbine expected production from condition-matched operating data over complete operating years, with curtailment, forced outage, and periods of manual intervention held out of the fit.
What several weeks of warning is worth when access is weather-dependent and a vessel is chartered rather than dispatched, and where in the drivetrain that warning is most reliably available.
Detection lead time on drivetrain degradation, set against the difference in cost and lost production between a planned campaign and an unplanned mobilization.
How a site can meet a contractual availability guarantee in full over a reporting period while delivering materially below the machines it is composed of, and what an owner can do about the gap.
Contractual availability compared with condition-matched expected production across identical reporting periods, with the shortfall attributed by cause.
Every report states its method in full, including what was excluded from the analysis and why. A result whose derivation is not published is an assertion, and an operator evaluating a vendor has no way to test one. The exclusions matter more than the headline figure: a production study that quietly leaves curtailed periods in the fit will report a recovery that does not exist.
No customer data appears in a report, and no asset, site, or operator is named without written consent. Where a result is drawn from operating data, it is reported as a distribution across assets rather than as an identifiable case.
Nothing is published before the work supports it. Each report above carries its status, and none of them is available today. When one is, it will appear here with its data description and its method attached rather than as a summary with the working withheld.
The shorter form of this analysis is published continuously in Insights, which covers the same questions at the length of an article rather than a study. Subscribing below is the way to be told when a report is released; there is nothing to download in the meantime, and the page will not pretend otherwise.
