S3 - CMS in wind farm operations
13 Nov - From 15:10 to 16:50
Introduction
Implementing Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS) poses challenges for wind turbine owners, requiring careful consideration of data integration, sensor reliability, and software compatibility. Ensuring effective CMS implementation is crucial for timely detection of faults in critical components like gearboxes and bearings, optimizing maintenance strategies, and maximizing wind farm performance and longevity.

Antonio Herrera, Civil and Mechanical Technical Director – EDP Renewables
EDP Renewables is a global leader in the renewable energy sector and the world's fourth-largest renewable energy producer. Usually, these turbine-specific owners' meetings are hosted by O2O WIND, but we have asked our dear members to help us in Madrid.
A big thank you to EDP Renewables!
Is this your cup of tea?
Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?
Clearly define goals for the CMS implementation - do you wish to reduce downtime, optimize maintenance schedules or predict failures?
Which CMS technologies are best suited for monitoring key components like gearboxes, bearings, and blades - what works & what to avoid?
How do we obtain the raw CMS data?
How to manage and analyze collected data, focusing on components like gearboxes, bearings, and blades to extract actionable insights for maintenance decision-making.
How do we combine CMS analysis with other predictive techniques such as endoscope inspections, online/offline oil analysis, temperatures and metallic wear debris monitoring?
How to integrate CMS with existing O&M systems and workflows, with a focus on components like generators, gearboxes, and blades
Which suppliers of CMS systems perform well - what works & what to avoid?
Joining this discussion with identical peers from other WTG owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
