Standardized Data Flows (APIs)

The aim of the Wind Industry Guideline for Standardized Data Flows (APIs) is to define best practices for transferring machine-readable data from turbine manufacturers to their customers. It outlines a customer journey focused on efficient data and information exchange between manufacturers and developers or utilities.

The Purpose

The amount and complexity of the data exchanged between turbine manufacturers and their customers has become more complex over the past years, and it has become more prominent in the entire lifecycle, not only during the operations phase but even from very early interactions. This calls for rethinking our approach to transferring data from one organization to another.

In today’s digital era, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are the standard way to flow information, and this guideline investigates what a future where data can flow seamlessly could look like.​

The guideline has been written by subject matter experts from the following companies:

  • Equinor
  • Nordex
  • RWE
  • Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy
  • Vattenfall
  • Vestas Wind Systems
  • Ørsted

Status: Pending

The Wind Industry Guideline for Standardized Data Flows (APIs) will soon be available for purchase.
The first edition of the guideline will focus on developing a cookbook for a data model and API, targeting the performance curves specified in the Product Specification documents for type turbines.

We are committed to continuous improvement and greatly appreciate your perspective. Should you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions regarding the TIM Wind guidelines, you are welcome to submit them via the form provided.

All submissions are reviewed on a regular basis. Please note that, as responses may involve input from multiple stakeholders, a formal reply may take up to 10 working days.
