Case Study: a leading operating company improves wind turbine monitoring and cuts contractor costs with Visplore

How an operator of many distributed energy wind turbines monitored and optimized his plant operation

A leading operating company was challenged to monitor and optimize the long-term operation of over 120 distributed wind turbines of various types. With their existing SCADA system, it was difficult to analyze large operational datasets to find performance degradations and deviations from expected energy forecasts. They needed an in-house solution to gain these insights for maintenance and optimization without relying on external contractors.

The company implemented Visplore, which provided ready-to-use analytic cockpits to visualize trends and deviations for all turbines. This enabled their operators to quickly perform root cause analysis and correlation studies. Using Visplore increased the company's digital competencies and reduced external contractor costs by approximately 50%, while providing the insights needed to optimize operations and prevent problems.
