[Webinar On Demand] Wind Turbine Converter eCMS: Minimize Unscheduled Maintenance Expense, Downtime and Risk of Thermal Events

On Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at 10:00 A.M. EST, WindESCo hosted a webinar for wind industry owners, operators, asset managers and other stakeholders. 

WindESCo and our partner, ABB, came together for an insightful webinar where we explored the critical role of wind turbine converters in clean energy production. We cover how converters, which act as the "brain" of the turbine, face common challenges such as efficiency loss, wear, and failure, impacting energy output and increasing maintenance costs.

Discover how advanced analytics, including predictive maintenance, real-time data processing, and machine learning, can address these challenges. We’ll walk through data collection methods like IoT sensors and SCADA, and share how our innovative approaches are improving efficiency, reducing costs, and extending turbine lifespan.

We also dive into real-world case studies showcasing the impact of our analytics solutions. The session concluded with a Q&A - read some of the questions below:

• Can the solution say with any confidence when the suspected part will fail? Days, weeks...?
• Can eCMS be applied to the transformer as well?
• Can the system handle monitoring harmonics when the rectifier is uptower and the converter is in the tower base? Are the harmonics logged?
