Predictive maintenance & condition monitoring
where Big Data analytics is carried out by ar tificial intelligence (AI) to provide accurate diagnosis on the condition of key components, and crucially, to predict any potential reliability risks well in advance of failure. Consequently, operators can eliminate
unforeseen breakdowns and their costly repercussions. More than that, data insights can inform long-term preventative maintenance strategy, ensuring that par ticular brake components can be highlighted for repair or replacement at the optimum time. The system even offers a functionality where maintenance tasks can be ordered in terms of time criticality. The IIoT solution can be installed on any
existing or new Svendborg Brakes system for permanent condition monitoring. The hardware required consists of either the in- house developed Svendborg Brakes Gateway or the SOBO iQ (Soft Braking Option) braking system, both in collaboration with a high security cloud gateway for a secure connection to the cloud.
A universAl solution If a non-permanent condition monitoring solution is needed, such as for commissioning or troubleshooting, the Universal Control (UC) Case, developed by Altra Renewables brand Svendborg Brakes, provides this functionality for wind turbine brakes. Contained in a compact, lightweight case, the UCCase can remotely access data from wind
turbines and enable direct online intervention from technicians to aid maintenance work. Easily operated by a
technician with general training, the UCCase uploads data to the Cloud to allow in-depth analysis of the braking system. Impor tantly for wind turbine operators, the UCCase delivers up to a 90 per cent service cost saving when compared to the expenses of transpor ting a technician to the installation. Fur thermore, it offers a distinct advantage in terms of time, adding fur ther value. The tool is suitable for use on all Svendborg Brakes standard and SOBO (Soft Braking Option) braking systems.

MAxiMising wind turbine uptiMe By combining condition monitoring, IIoT technology and in-depth AI data analysis to provide real-time insights and predictions, Altra Renewables delivers the dual benefits of reducing turbine maintenance requirements while eliminating unforeseen breakdowns. For onshore wind turbine operators, this means that turbine uptime and reliability can be
improved simultaneously. This not only delivers an increase in profitability due to maximised power generation, but also a maintenance cost advantage generally. Maximising the benefits of green power
generation relies on making environmentally friendly technologies such as onshore wind turbines as reliable and profitable as possible. With advances in IIoT technology, operators now have the tools to capitalise, keeping turbines running for longer, all while reducing downtime.
