Turning powerful insights into smarter wind power
Optimizing operations: Sensors continuously transmit data to our diagnostic center and digital models forecast the turbine condition - determining when and how it should be serviced and reducing unplanned downtime.
Digital solutions: As manufacturer we can turn data into technological solutions to boost turbine performance. Examples are the Power Curve Upgrade, Energy Thrust, High Wind Ride Through, or control improvements.
Dynamic business models: We support customers in developing business models by capitalizing on data - such as condition-based maintenance, efficient resource deployment, and improved fleet management.
Higher yield and an average turbine availability of 97%

By model based diagnostics we gather data from around 6.000.000 sensors from turbines worldwide and create 1.500.000 individual digital models out of it. The system flags around 250.000 deviations per year. But which of these positives correspond to real-life faults?

Our algorithms filter out the costly false-positives and insignificant deviations. This drops the count of significant deviations that need to be adressed to aproximately 8.000 site visits a year. In fact: we don’t need to follw false-positives and your average turbine needs to be visited less often.

And the implementation won’t stop there: From service technicians reports to analyzing damage parts, it all feeds back into an ever-learning knowledge base supporting all kinds of digital tools.

You’ll know when to act, with 24/7 monitoring of your SCADA and turbine alarms. If an alarm is detected, we’ll quickly email you and your site personnel with guidance on what action is needed.
Constant monitoring means that, when an alarm is detected, we apply knowledge-based alarm rules to quickly and accurately reset and restart a turbine without a site visit. Statistics and notification reports are shared for example on Wind Dialogue.
With the latest software on turbine controllers, interface computers, SCADA, park regulation, condition monitoring systems and more, production can be optimized and bugs fixed, for better performance, and improved stability.
For issues that can’t be solved by remote alarm management, we provide access to the relevant experts for troubleshooting. On request we can remotely identify the cause and try to fix it remotely, or suggest on-site actions.
This detection service recognizes any changes in your wind turbine generator from the parameters defined in its profile. We’ll notify you by email and correct these abnormalities on your approval.
By picking up vibrations on turbine components, sensors can lower the risk of slow- and fast-developing damages by early detection, and optimize maintenance strategies – such as automatic turbine shutdown or preventive repair. This helps to save service costs and reduce downtime.
To ensure smooth and reliable operations, our diagnostic center updates all protected endpoints daily and monitors sites 24/7, using a quarantining function to prevent threats from spreading.
Excessive wear on gears and bearings can lead to gearbox breakdowns. By detecting both ferrous and non-ferrous metal particles in the gear oil and connecting the oil particle counter to the condition monitoring system, we can help to prevent costly turbine failures.
By accurately pinpointing vibrations within the drivetrain, we can predict damage up to three years in advance. This allows for optimized risk and asset management, and minimizes downtime.
