SmartSignal identifies all major process and equipment failures on all critical rotating and non-rotating equipment across all OEMs.
A wind turbine, with blades larger than a jumbo jet constantly speeding up and slowing down, as wind velocity and direction vary, represents a unique set of complex load and equipment challenges. Unlike traditional condition-based monitoring and time-based maintenance, only SmartSignal can quickly develop each wind turbine’s unique profiles across all operating modes and ambient conditions and provide early detection of impending problems.
Power Engineering International discussed SmartSignal’s success in the wind industry in its November, 2008 edition. Read the article, which discusses how our technology uniquely works in the dynamic environment of wind generation.
