Unleashing AI’s Potential to Supercharge Renewable Asset Performance

Webinar Summary

Today’s wind and solar assets, from turbines to panels, must operate reliably in harsh and challenging environments. Since 2015, the installed gigawatts have increased by 2x for wind generation, 5x for solar generation, and 23x for installed storage! With the new volume and growth, assets have begun to age and break, requiring maintenance operations to scale.

Unfortunately, scaling maintenance operations have proven challenging. A single wind turbine has over 700 alarm codes with no standardization between control systems. Without a way to interpret this data, asset managers must rely on traditional routine inspections or asset failures to maintain asset uptime.
