Sennen has launched a new software module that gives wind farm operators insights into sources and causes of turbine downtime. The Downtime Analysis tool has been developed with funding from the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP).
Existing systems for downtime analysis rely on an algorithm and ignore input by people. Sennen’s system allows downtime events to be categorised easily, and the user can enrich, refine and improve the raw data to create datasets that can be analysed from many aspects. This means information on production losses, that could result from component failure, poor response times or maintenance shutdown for example, can be generated.
