Case Study: Nordex-Acciona avoids critical turbine failure with Delfos Energy predictive monitoring

Nordex-Acciona prevents turbine failure and avoids USD 60,000 with Delfos Energy

The customer, Nordex-Acciona, faced a challenge where a critical problem with a wind turbine's rear bearing, marked by an abnormal temperature increase, went unnoticed by its operations team. This fault risked component breakage, extended downtime, and significant financial loss. The vendor, Delfos Energy, used its Prediction module to identify this issue.

Delfos Energy's solution generated a predictive alert after detecting the temperature had exceeded its threshold, facilitating an investigation and enabling continuous monitoring. This allowed the customer to take preventive action based on data. The results included the early identification of the fault six months in advance, preventing an estimated USD 60,000 in financial losses and the loss of 1,761.26 MWh of energy.
