What impact would downtime have upon your wind project?
As demand continues to grow and we continue to invest heavily in new wind farms globally, there is an urgent need to reinforce security of supply. Transformers on a wind farm are a single point of failure and critically they can and do fail. In fact, in the US, one transformer experiences a critical failure every week – what impact would this have for your business?

Approximately 17% of transformer failures can be attributed to a failure in the bushings. However, when bushings fail, almost 30% result in a catastrophic failure – often fire or explosion resulting in immediate downtime. Considering today’s supply chain challenges with lead times of more than 18 months; can you afford to take the risk?
Transformer monitoring improves transformer reliability by providing early warning to developing faults. By monitoring your critical assets, you get real-time visibility and valuable insights into the health of your transformer. This provides asset managers with the confidence to take corrective actions that are necessary to prevent a fault developing into a failure and reduces the risk to operations.
