<p>Clir's software platform uses machine learning algorithms to categorize and quantify areas of underperformance across wind assets (e.g. yaw, blade pitch), resulting in recommended actions for improvement. Customers realize Annual Energy Production (AEP) gains of up to 5% from Clir's actionable insights.</p> <p>Driven by cost reductions and performance improvements, global wind power capacity is growing rapidly.
