Before
Ongoing unplanned maintenance of offshore wind turbine gearboxes driving significant increase in costs associated with logistics and the lack of skilled manpower.
After
Advance warnings 9 months before potential failures and £150k operational savings per turbine.
The How
- Understand the Gearbox workings and potential failure modes
- Collect data from the SCADA and CMS systems
- Perform Vibration analysis
- Develop a Neural Network to model “Normal” behaviour
- Provide alerts of abnormal behaviour
