Fully automated, physics-based analysis of SCADA temperature signals for Drivetrain Monitoring
In the wind industry, it is widely accepted and understood that SCADA data can be used as a valuable input to condition monitoring algorithms. The data is particularly useful for the analysis of trends in temperature signals and has been shown to be an effective way to detect faults early, allowing proactive inspection and maintenance […]
Optimizing End-of-Warranty Inspections: Leveraging Image, Vibration, and SCADA Data for Wind Turbines
SkySpecs’ Patrick Strom, Head of Global Growth, and Chris Gray, VP of Performance Products join forces to discuss how wind farms are becoming hubs of technological innovation, powered by two key components: operational excellence and automated data analytics.
Unleashing Efficiency: A Deep Dive into Operational Excellence with Cutting-Edge Automated Data Analytics
SkySpecs’ Patrick Strom, Head of Global Growth, and Chris Gray, VP of Performance Products join forces to discuss how wind farms are becoming hubs of technological innovation, powered by two key components: operational excellence and automated data analytics.
Crack Growth Risk in Turbine Blades – Understanding The Big Picture
Wind turbine blades suffer damage from operation, poor maintenance, age, and more. However, a specific type of damage has consistently been a major cause of blade failures. In a recent webinar, Tomasz Sieradzan, Principal Engineer at SkySpecs, discussed the findings of a study SkySpecs conducted on managing the risk of crack formation and propagation on […]
Wind Turbine Yaw Misalignment: Setting Some Things Straight
I have heard many discussions on the subject of yaw misalignment during my career in the wind industry, and I would like to offer my opinion on this interesting and complex topic. Although there are surely cases where misaligned turbines should be corrected, I believe that claims relating to the severity and frequency with which […]
Minimizing Risk and Repair Costs with Tailored Blade Inspection Strategies
While it might not be possible to completely eliminate risk and repairs for turbine blades, there are ways we can minimize them. Blade damage can reduce efficiency, cause tower failures, and increase maintenance and repair costs. To get the most out of renewable assets, it’s essential to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of each […]
Measuring Blade Risk by Operational Risk Score
One of the biggest parts of blade management is the regular risk assessment. Blade failures can occur at any time due to environmental damage, time in service, recurring defects, or location. However, fixing all damages or faults is time-consuming and expensive, so owner-operators need a way to prioritize risk and maintenance jobs. One way to […]
i4SEE, Bridging the Gap Between Data Analytics and Actionable Insights
Collecting and monitoring analytics is an important aspect of the wind industry, but it’s what you do with all that data that really counts.In this episode of the Climate Chronicles podcast, i4SEE’s CEO and COO, Christopher Gray and Richard Distl, explore the world of turbine analytics and how they turn data into results.Christopher and Richard […]
End-of-Warranty Inspections: The Power of Combining Image, Vibration & SCADA Data
As wind turbines in your fleet near the end of their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) warranties, it’s essential to ensure they’re in good working order and have no major damages that impact their efficiency and reliability. An end of warranty (EoW) inspection is one of the best investments your organization can make in your wind […]
