DARMSTADT, Germany (Sept. 14, 2020) – Brüel & Kjær Vibro, one of the leading worldwide independent suppliers of condition monitoring solutions for rotating machinery, has released Version 3.2 of the stand-alone, completely client-owned VibroSuite program for advanced wind turbine condition monitoring.
VibroSuite is currently monitoring more than 25,000 wind turbines worldwide, providing an effective diagnostic platform to all types of turbines and to users of all levels of expertise. The result has been reduced maintenance costs and increased uptime for wind parks. Version 3.2 enables other systems to interface with VibroSuite, extends the already powerful alarming capability, monitors more types of wind turbines, including both direct drive turbines and those with only two planetary stage gearboxes, and improves overall monitoring flexibility and security.
VibroSuite Version 3.2 has the capability to be more closely integrated with other systems for more comprehensive monitoring and correlation purposes. This gives better insight and a more complete at-a-glance overview for managing wind turbine healthcare. The rate of change of wear debris count is calculated, monitored and trended to distinguish between normal wear and a prematurely failing component. This gives reliable, early detection of gearbox and bearing faults.
