TR10 – Quality factor Module

Certified performance evaluation for wind turbines

The TR10 module in windPRO allows you to evaluate how a wind turbine’s remuneration and performance evolve over time—specifically at the 5, 10, and 15-year milestones.

Designed in accordance with the German TR10 standard (Technische Richtlinien für Windenergieanlagen Teil 10, rev. 0), this module calculates the site yield and quality factor for operating turbines.

Ideal for compliance and certification processes, the TR10 module is an add-on to the PERFORMANCE CHECK module and provides a comprehensive solution for long-term operational assessments.

Ensure long-term wind farm revenue with certified TR10 evaluations

Effortless Data Import & Processing

  • Import from any SCADA System
    Upload 10-minute SCADA data, log status files, and electricity production data directly from most major turbine manufacturers.

  • Supports EinsMan Data
    Easily import Einspeisemanagement (EinsMan) data for accurate production loss accounting.

  • Integrated with METEO
    Leverage windPRO’s METEO module for external wind data and index correction.

Smart Categorization Tools

  • Automatic Categorization by TR10 Rules
    Built-in tools help you categorize each 10-minute data point to comply with TR10 rev. 0 standards.

  • Compliant with FGW Specifications
    Categorization aligns with the Fördergesellschaft Windenergie (FGW) technical requirements.

Accurate Site Yield & Quality Factor Calculations

  • Simplified or Detailed Methodology
    Choose the appropriate calculation approach based on turbine availability and data quality.

  • TR10-Specific Availability Calculation
    The module calculates temporal availability to determine which method applies for each turbine.

  • Certified Quality Factor
    The Quality Factor is derived as the ratio between your actual site yield and the FGW reference yield—a key metric in determining continued eligibility for feed-in tariffs or remuneration.

Complete Documentation & Reporting

  • Generate Compliant Reports
    Create PDF reports that fulfill all requirements in TR10 Chapter 8 and Annex. These reports are suitable for submission to grid operators and stakeholders.

  • Detailed and Transparent Output
    Reports include calculation steps, raw data inputs, and results with full traceability and explanations.

Certified by TÜV SÜD

  • Trusted Certification
    Evaluations of wind turbines with availability above 98%, or between 97% and 98%, are certified by TÜV SÜD for compliance with TR10 rev. 0.

  • Official Recognition
    Enhance stakeholder confidence with independent third-party certification for quality and reliability.

Module Requirements
