USA, Texas, San Antonio: GE has announced the launch of Lifespan, a new digital product portfolio.

Lifespan is dedicated for enabling customers to optimize renewable asset performance and operations across their fleet.

The Lifespan suite of products are fully integrated, technology agnostic, and were designed side-by-side with operators to drive improved operations.

Disconnected systems, siloed and inconsistent data, increasing and unpredictable costs, and parts and labour shortages create significant challenges for renewable energy operators. As owners and operators continue to grow, fuelled by the energy transition, they will need to shed traditional tools and processes to increase revenue and minimize costs across their fleets.

The system will help connect operators with the information and insights required to seamlessly drive action across all aspects of their organization to support rapidly growing fleets by providing real-time command and control, deep insights into fleet and site performance, and enabling the shift to condition-based maintenance to optimize energy production.

“With Lifespan, we took digital transformation to the next level. This new platform really shows how digital solutions can help the wind industry get the best value and outcome out of the huge wind energy fleet that exists today and will keep growing over time,” said Anne McEntee, Onshore Wind Digital Services CEO, GE.

Lifespan was tested and proven to run GE’s managed assets comprising 40,000 wind turbines, consisting of 20 different wind turbine types across 8 different OEMs. It currently supports the daily work of 5,000 field technicians.
