SCADA ANALYSIS
assess the performance of operational wind farms
Since 2016, 8.2 has deployed a tool to evaluate the performance of operating wind farms by analyzing historical SCADA data.
This analysis is based on a set of indicators and correlations between operational parameters of the turbines, focusing on availability, production, and performance.
SCADA ANALYSIS
OUR OBJECTIVES
Increased availability
Proactive fault detection through SCADA log analysis reduces downtime and ensures turbines operate smoothly.
Optimised production
By identifying hidden losses and restrictions, we help maximise energy production through targeted performance improvements.
Performance benchmarking and continuous improvement
Comparing performance between turbines helps identify underperforming units, guiding strategic maintenance and upgrades to improve overall site efficiency.
HOW WE WORK
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Availability and log analysis
Identification of frequent failures and recurring technical issues to monitor on each wind turbine that affect turbine availability.
Curtailment analysis
Verification of the proper implementation of environmental curtailments to ensure compliance with environmental restrictions, and detection of unexpected curtailments that may impact energy production.
Comparative performance analysis of wind turbines
Evaluation of turbine output and power curves to identify the lowest-performing machines and estimate potential performance gains.
Performance analysis using artificial neural networks
This approach models the statistical behavior of turbines through “learning” to assess the stability of turbine performance.
Operational parameter analysis
Investigation of the causes of performance variations by analyzing parameters such as pitch angle, rotor speed (rpm), nacelle alignment, etc.
