Case Study: CGN Europe Energy boosts wind asset performance with Power Factors APM

How Data Experts Underpin Innovation for CGN

CGN Europe Energy, a renewable energy operator with a 2.4GW European portfolio, needed a sophisticated approach to asset management to support its growth and expert-driven strategy. They partnered with vendor Power Factors to implement its asset performance management (APM) solution to optimize performance, identify underperformance and curtailment issues, and support their team of in-house data specialists.

The solution from Power Factors provided CGN Europe Energy with a centralized APM platform and an efficient API. This enabled a lean team of four to monitor assets, automate over 100 curtailment alerts, and proactively schedule maintenance. Power Factors' APM also empowered the company's experts to build their own internal tools for advanced analysis. The results included improved energy production, stronger negotiation power with turbine manufacturers, and a demonstrated innovative edge in managing environmental compliance and grid-related losses.
