Smart Wind Turbine Prediction

Smart Wind Turbine Prediction is a software interface for the intelligent operation and maintenance of wind farms. The interface uses three-dimensional visualization, virtual simulation and data graphs to show turbine conditions and to locate faults quickly. Machine learning models are configured by dragging and dropping data and model settings, so single or multiple turbine types can be covered. Fault warnings are delivered about twenty minutes earlier on average, and model accuracy reaches 81 percent. Manual maintenance costs and safety risks are reduced.
