Renewable energy assets life-cycle management through tech-enabled maintenance strategies
Modern wind turbines and solar plants generate large volumes of operational data. By leveraging analytics, inefficiencies can be identified, performance assessed in real-time, and emerging issues addressed before they escalate. A dynamic operations and maintenance (O&M) support system builds on this intelligence to provide a strong grip on performance levels while minimising downtime.
