The Internet of Wind Manifesto
version 0.1 contribute here
We are a global movement united by the belief that the wind sector is driving and is crucial for the whole energy industry. We are convinced that a false competition dilemma around data sharing is blocking the natural evolution of the entire industry.
We believe that:
In the near future wind turbines will be smart, connected and able to talk the same language as people
Sharing is better than locking. What is a competitive asset for the individual is a benefit for the whole wind energy industry
There are no super-heroes. Community-generated knowledge is the key to create competitive industry assets
Nobody shares their data and nobody knows why. This is what we call a confidentiality bubble
We want to live in a world where everybody should be free to give their own contribution.
In order to do this, we need to burst the wind data confidentiality bubble and build an open standard for wind turbine data designed around sharing.
