SmartSignal Corporation has announced that it has been selected by Horizon Wind Energy LLC to install SmartSignal EPI*Center Predictive Analytic software to protect Horizon’s entire North American fleet. The fleet includes more than 20 wind farms across the US, over 1600 turbines responsible for approximately 3400MW of energy.
The software detects, diagnoses, and prioritises developing mechanical and instrumentation turbine failures. Horizon will be monitoring its turbines in Horizon’s own centralised monitoring center, where SmartSignal will be deployed on top of Horizon’s new OSIsoft PI System data infrastructure. The agreement comes after a successful six-month trial of over 100 turbines of multiple varieties in wind farms across the U.S. Target is to be live with complete implementation by the end of 2010.
