With the increasing demand for clean energy, the wind sector continues to grow; and so do the challenges associated with achieving lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Unplanned downtime and repairs can be the difference between a profitable or unprofitable wind farm. Wind farm owners and operators must find ways to operate smarter and maintain profitability by controlling their operating and maintenance costs. Condition monitoring systems (CMS) provide insights into early fault detection that enable issues to be addressed at the right time and for the lowest cost.
Bently Nevada’s CMS and System 1 Wind software reduce operations and maintenance
costs by proactively detecting impending drivetrain issues.
