Planning and optimization of wind farms that are as efficient as possible
The Cuxhaven greentech company has now secured a 51 percent majority in the British digital company Bitbloom, as both companies announced on Monday in Hamburg.
The British company’s AI-based analysis and monitoring software makes it possible to optimize the operation of the wind turbines. As a result, according to a PNE spokesman, “a few more kilowatt hours could be squeezed out of the systems”.
“Optimizing the overall performance of wind turbines”
“Together we will continue to advance PNE and at the same time ensure that the performance of wind turbines is optimized overall,” said PNE boss Markus Lesser according to the announcement.PNE did not provide any information on the purchase price of the 51 percent share when asked. The spokesman said it had been agreed not to disclose the matter. PNE has been working with the AI company Bitbloom, founded in 2019, for several years and is already using the technology. As the majority owner, this can now be further expanded. Bitbloom will continue to work with other customers.
