Sound the Alarm: Strategies for Optimizing Renewable Asset Reliability and Performance

Webinar Summary

The White House has set a target of 80% renewable energy generation by 2030 and 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035. To deliver this renewable owners and operators must achieve an unprecedented level of reliability, predictability, and efficacy. However, traditional approaches to dealing with data volumes and silos, manual processes, and inefficient workflows won’t work.

Take for example something as simple as an alarm code.

• A single wind turbine has over 700 alarm codes
• There is no standardization of alarm codes
• Alarms are not only about failures but also warning, logs, and statuses.
