BLADE INSPECTION & REPAIR
With a flash detection rate of 99 percent across Europe, detailed reports allow you to proactively assess and repair potential issues faster. And if you have questions or need more information, a professional meteorologist is available at any time for a personal consultation.
WEATHER FORECASTING
Lightning can endanger crews and damage turbines, so it’s critical to understand your risk before the lightning starts to flash. Schneider Electric has a long-standing reputation as one of the most accurate and reliable weather forecasters in the world.
Knowing when to expect severe weather ensures better safety in the field, as well as more efficient repairs that minimise generation loss. For example, forecasting helps you determine optimal times for performing routine maintenance on a calm day with little or no wind. You can also have greater confidence that a storm has passed and more quickly dispatch crews to repair blades after a storm.
WEATHER ALERTS Even with highly accurate
weather forecasts, there will be times when severe weather suddenly starts to develop and endanger your crews. The company’s patented mobile alerts provide early warnings and an estimated evacuation time when severe weather threatens an area, as well as notifications that let crews know when it is safe to resume work.
THE BOTTOM LINE
For example, operators can view real-time
lightning strike data as well as receive alerts when lightning is detected within a pre-defined radius of a windfarm. The alerts are location-specific, so crews that are out making repairs on large windfarms will be alerted on their mobile device, no matter their location. When the severe weather has passed and conditions are deemed safe, crews and operators receive an all-clear alert notifying them that they can return to the field.
Lightning damage is not always visible or predictable and can lead to larger problems if left undetected. Through lightning tracking technology and blade inspection reports, weather forecasts and alerts, you now have powerful intelligence to help take your windfarm to a new level of automation and efficiency – and to make real impacts on its profitability.
