Techniques to Put Your Data to Work for You
Wind plants generate enormous amounts of data which, if utilised properly, can provide significant insight for operational improvements, resulting in more proactive plant management, and a better return on investments. In order to effectively and efficiently utilise the plant data, it becomes necessary to employ a variety of analysis techniques. These techniques could be simple signal comparisons or the calculation of advanced key performance indicators. In either case, the end goal remains the same: to give plant operators tools and techniques which will utilise the data currently available at a wind plant to optimise plant performance.
