usual when relying on sending data to the cloud. The agility that Edge Computing provides means that operators can react to the smallest issues before they result in downtime, and in some cases structural collapse, from wherever they are. Data produced by the turbine can deliver value in
a number of ways. First, the operator can save both time andmoney on expensive call outs and repairs by reacting to issues in real-time. Any windfarm operators will know first-hand that maintenance is a significant cost, the reduction of which adds an immediate boost to the bottom line. The second data value point concerns windfarm
operators that manage not only multiple turbines, but multiple sites. By collecting and analysing operational data, operators can identify best practices which can be replicated at other sites and designed into new ones. When adding a new turbine or even an entirely new farm, businesses will have the information they need to make informed decisions based on real-world in-situ data. There is a secondary value-add here that can make its way up the supply chain to the manufacturer of turbines, using historical data to produce evermore efficient turbines. It should also be noted that Edge Computing saves on costly cloud or data centre space. Given that windfarms are notoriously costly in the first instance, such reductions in OPEX are very welcome for operators.
ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES Combining wind turbines and Edge Computing offers a simple way to address several of the challenges that come with operating a windfarm.
Businesses that are advancing in wind power deservetoberewardedwithefficient production, not constantly battling complex systems and rising costs of operation. Edge Computing enables wind turbine operators to maximise not only their own investment, but the energy that

is produced. If this technology is applied to wind turbines across the country, it will be another meaningful step towards Net Zero by 2050.
