There’s so much more to turbine condition monitoring than vibration measurements. As wind turbine design and monitoring technology evolves, the potential to collect more data to predict faults is increasing.
To discuss the extent of condition monitoring of wind turbines in today’s industry, we welcomed Michael Stone, Senior Manager of Reliability Engineering at RWE Clean Energy, to the podcast.
We discuss Michael’s career, his thoughts on failure detection, how technology can help solve some of the issues in the industry, and the challenges of maintenance.
Key Moments:
How the wind industry differs from oil and gas
The top drivers of value in failure detection
When early detection doesn’t always make sense
The problem with bigger wind turbines
Technology that could solve some of the maintenance gaps in the industry
The biggest disconnects in the industry
How prescriptive vs. predictive maintenance differs
Why the industry doesn’t properly understand loading issues
