Improving operating margins in the wind sector with monitoring consolidation

Rating & reviews (0 reviews)
Traditional operations in the wind sector often involve multiple, isolated control rooms, each dedicated to a specific site. Different farms use turbines, sensors, and control room software from dozens of vendors. The lack of a unified operational view inhibits operators from optimizing performance and impedes the deployment of innovations in predictive maintenance and AI. The result is pervasive inefficiency, a death knell in an industry where maximizing uptime and efficiency is essential for profitability.  

With most maintenance occurring during daytime, wind farms require less engaged monitoring during evening hours. By consolidating the monitoring of multiple sites to a single centralized control room during off-hour periods, wind sector turbine companies can reduce their staffing. With VOX, night-time operators at remote control rooms share a common operating picture, enabling a seamless handover and limiting operational expenses.

With tailored, uniform screens, VOX speeds up onboarding and improves workforce flexibility. As new recruits are being trained, operators and technicians from other sites can fill in without having to learn an entirely new system. With greater worker availability, energy companies can avoid overuse of overtime and reduce human capital costs.
