Since the 1980s, the wind energy sector has been growing ever more data-rich due to the evolution of turbines, sensors, digital infrastructure and data storage technology. At the same time, storage and digital communications have become faster and cheaper, and scalable high-performance computing systems are available on demand.

Analysis of this can lead to insights that can reduce downtime, improve safety, better predict maintenance needs, forecast production, increase efficiency and provide real-time risk management. However, the data analytics systems available to owners and operators to date have been rigid and slow to respond to changing needs.

Download this Windpower Monthly expert report, produced in partnership with Bitbloom, to discover how a new approach to the application of advanced analytics can give wind farm owners and operators more control without them needing to become experts in IT and software development.
