As the world responds to climate imperatives and grapples with issues of energy security, lost energy production on wind farms is becoming increasingly important for asset owners, operators and investors in renewable energy production. While we can’t control the wind itself, as an industry we can take steps to ensure we maximise production, through a focused effort on reducing the need to derate turbines or to take them offline for maintenance.
By using digital technologies, we can leverage the data available to us to derive trusted insights which aid owners and operators in streamlining their O&M activities. Won Shin, vice president of products at ONYX Insight spoke to the company’s content marketing manager Mirelle Ball. Together they discussed how the digital revolution is transforming end to end integration and reducing lost energy.
Mirelle Ball: Firstly Won, it would be great to start by asking what is the most rewarding part of your job?
