Case Study: Suzlon Turbine Operator prevents critical generator failure with Delfos Energy

Suzlon Turbine (wtg) Operator avoids critical bearing failure with Delfos Energy after a 10°C thermal delta

The customer, Suzlon Turbine (wtg) Operator, faced a critical challenge when one of its wind turbines began showing severe thermal anomalies in its generator bearings, operating at temperatures exceeding 85°C and significantly hotter than neighboring machines. This indicated imminent mechanical stress and risk of failure. The vendor, Delfos Energy, used its predictive monitoring platform to diagnose the issue.

Delfos Energy's solution utilized data intelligence from its platform to perform a comparative analysis, which pinpointed a generator misalignment and a failed shaft spring as the root cause. Based on this guidance, the customer's team performed a corrective intervention to realign the generator and replace the spring. The results were immediate thermal normalization, mitigating the risk of a catastrophic bearing collapse. The early predictive alert from Delfos, issued more than two months prior to the critical peak, prevented major damage and ensured the machine's safe return to operation.
