Machine-learning-enabled thermal imaging solutions are addressing these issues. Bi-spectral cameras, like SYTIS’ TC-90™, provide clear images and remote, real-time visibility into electrical enclosures. These miniaturized cameras fit inside nacelles and, powered by POE, offer a holistic view of components, connections and wiring. They detect micro-failures—like pinhole leaks in hydraulic lines—before they escalate. Shifting from time-based to condition-based maintenance enables earlier interventions, historical trend analysis and more resilient and efficient operations while reducing the need for high-risk manual inspections.

PolyTech ice detection still available for Senvion turbines
- Category: Company Announcement

The PolyTech ice detection system is still available for the Senvion 3XM and MM wind turbines and is fully integrated into the control system. This deep integration enables the automatic starting and stopping of the wind turbines. Functionality and added value are accessible without restriction both for existing systems and for new retrofits.
A large part of the service business of Senvion turbines is now carried out by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and Deutsche Windtechnik X-Service and PolyTech relies on the continuation of the successful cooperation. For ice detection systems already installed under Senvion, this means that operation and spare parts supply will continue as usual. In addition, optional upgrades can be used to further extend the added value and functionality of the system.
The rotor blade-based ice detection system of PolyTech is also available for Enercon wind turbines with full integration depth. For all other types of wind turbines the system is available as a manufacturer-independent monitoring solution. The customer has the choice of receiving the hardware as a one-off investment or ice detection as a service without initial investment costs.
