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 […]
5 Steps to Successfully Transition to an In-House Wind Turbine CMS Model
The idea of transitioning to an in-house wind turbine condition monitoring system (CMS) model has gained a lot of popularity amongst wind farm owners and operators, especially in recent years as their FSAs come to an end. There are numerous potential benefits, including lower costs, better service quality, increased data ownership, and more. However, moving […]
4 Things to Consider When Selecting a Wind Turbine CMS Partner
A growing number of wind energy companies are considering shifting their wind turbine condition monitoring system (CMS) operations to an in-house model, citing the potential for better service quality, lower costs, increased knowledge and ownership of data, and much more. But attempting this shift without assistance is considered risky, and most organizations seek out a […]
4 Challenges of In-Housing Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring
As the wind energy industry looks for new ways to grow and scale operations, many companies are considering shifting some of their wind turbine condition monitoring operations to an in-house model. This has the potential to provide organizations with better service quality, lower costs, increased knowledge and ownership of data, and much more. However, moving […]
3 Benefits of Moving Wind Turbine CMS Operations In-House
As the wind energy industry looks for new ways to grow and scale operations, it’s becoming increasingly evident that drivetrain O&M is under scrutiny. Several companies are dissatisfied with their current CMS operators, citing rising costs, poor communication, and limited data access as main reasons. The solution? Consider shifting assets to an in-house operating model […]
Dimensions of Fault Detection: What We Want to Achieve with CMS
With greenhouse gas emissions on the rise and our dependence on fossil fuels at an all-time high, we need to start looking at alternative ways to generate clean, renewable energy. Renewable energy sources like wind power could be the next step in reducing our global carbon footprint. Wind turbines allow us to tap into the […]
Challenges with Data Access for Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring
Wind energy is currently ranked as the third-largest electricity generation capacity in the U.S, trailing behind natural gas-fired generators and coal-fired generators. In order for the wind energy sector to be seen as a serious competitor and viable alternative to fossil fuels, the industry has to adopt new technologies and data sharing practices. Sounds simple, right? But […]
EU Project “AI-TRAIN” completed
Vertikal AI’s core product is an AI platform for wind turbine drivetrain condition monitoring, using online data streams from vibration sensor systems. The business of condition monitoring is about delivering early warning on mechanical faults, so that maintenance operations and repair costs can be minimized. Early and robust fault detection also reduces unplanned downtime, and […]
