Ensure Availability When the Wind Blows
Proficy SmartSignal software identifies virtually all major equipment failures on all critical rotating and non-rotating equipment across all OEMs.
Proficy SmartSignal software helps you improve turbine reliability and availability and reduce maintenance costs across a farm or an entire fleet. We help you prioritize tower inspections and optimize crane usage.
The software detects, diagnoses, and prioritizes all major equipment failures across all OEMs and provides actionable warnings of impending problems.
Efficient wind-farm management presents distinct monitoring challenges. Time-based maintenance and traditional condition-based monitoring techniques have been ineffective in the dynamic environment of wind generation. Ambient conditions vary widely, and wind turbines don’t offer a constant load, but rather cycle up and down, presenting a unique wind regimen and set of data points. Each turbine has 60 or more analog sensors, with data reporting every few seconds.
Proficy SmartSignal software analyzes in real time all the data that is collected by a programmable logic controller in the nacelle—literally tens of thousands of data points daily on a typical wind farm—and detects and notifies wind farms of impending problems, allowing owners to focus on fixing problems early and efficiently.
With Proficy SmartSignal software, you can:
Reduce your risk--with industry-leading and proven technology. Wind farms worldwide use Proficy SmartSignal software, and 99% of our users renew maintenance annually. The average user achieves ROI in 6-12 months, some much sooner.
Optimize your resources. The software allows you to focus on fixing problems, not looking for them. And, our staff can provide all the support you need to implement, use, and leverage the software--quickly, easily, and inexpensively.
Integrate easily. The software integrates with your historian, thermal performance software, and RCM system, and it easily integrates with your people and into your existing business processes.
