Turbine monitoring
The essential foundation of an O&M strategy
Turbine monitoring enables the early detection of operating conditions and parameters that, if left unchecked, could not only shorten the lifespan of this vital equipment but could develop into a major, sudden failure.
Proserv’s control monitoring system (CMS) displays its considerable worth around pinpointing these slight deviations from normal operation, and minute anomalies, much earlier than other solutions. This then allows operators to adopt a front foot approach to scrutinising performance and taking remedial action, being the central component of a cost-efficient and effective wind turbine O&M strategy.
Better understanding means better performance
Modern wind turbines require incisive condition monitoring techniques to ensure their long-term reliability, availability and ultimately economic return. This equipment represents a fulcrum in wind power operations and requires live, real-time monitoring as it is constantly impacted by strong winds and harsh, remote offshore environments. Wind turbines are complex power generation assets and condition monitoring allows close understanding of performance and any degradation to ensure availability and generation are maintained.
Proserv’s predictive real-time monitoring solution is geared around delivering what operators and owners want – reduced likelihood of failures and enhanced power and revenue generation. By taking a proactive, not reactive, philosophy to maintenance, critical infrastructure performs better, avoids unnecessary wear and tear and its lifespan can be significantly extended.
As more and more wind farms roll out in the coming years, it is vital that these assets continue generating clean electricity far beyond their intended design lives. By adopting Proserv’s turbine monitoring solution, owners can circumvent the unplanned downtime and costs of run-to-failure strategies and benefit from the ROI gains via life extension and performance optimisation.

A joined-up answer
We approach engineering our turbine monitoring solutions by making sure our Proserv methodology around accessibility, scalability and being totally OEM agnostic and independent underpins our offering.
If a predictive condition monitoring system is to give the right support, it requires effective, real-time data capture via a broad array of vital sensors, leading analytics capabilities and intelligence alongside clear, intuitive HMIs and dashboards. These are the necessary components that will supply a technology that can identify anomalies early, allow swift action as required, and ultimately mean that turbine performance is always optimised.
