How Scipher.Vx+ simplifies wind asset administration

On this Q&A, we requested
Pablo Polanco, Head of Buying and selling & Operation at Viento Blanco on utilizing
Scipher.Vx+ for efficiency diagnostics and monitoring, and the way it’s develop into an integral a part of asset administration and day-to-day operations.

General, what do you want most about Scipher.Vx+?

Our present SCADA software program didn’t have analytics in depth, and confirmed us issues we already knew. However Scipher.Vx+ goes past that and offers us extra instruments to test wind turbine efficiency that saves us effort and time, liberating up my assets to give attention to different important duties. I like that a number of staff members can monitor real-time operations of our wind generators, which could be very insightful for our day by day operations. It merely would not be doable with out Scipher.Vx+.

Is there a particular occasion you may recall the place you felt your operations downside or concern was resolved due to utilizing Scipher.Vx+?

Sure, we have been having some points with the ability curve of 1 turbine in our wind farm, and we managed to appreciate about this downside solely due to Scipher.Vx+, which I wasn’t in a position to observe with our present instruments. A few months earlier than gaining access to Scipher, I noticed that the efficiency of 1 wind turbine wasn’t the identical because the others, and I used to be not in a position to determine it out by the OEM both. As a substitute, Scipher.Vx+ has the turbine evaluation/diagnostics operate that permits you to see the ability curve of the wind generators over a sure timeframe once you specify the date vary. You may see the historic information of two wind pace sensors, and with the device we realized one of many sensors was not working. We changed the sensor and all the things was again to regular. With out the device, it could have taken extra time to search out the problem and a few additional effort and time to maintain digging to see what the issue was…so this saved us precious time.

Which function do you utilize essentially the most?

I like to trace the technology from the day gone by and former week, availability and so on, and I get the day by day, weekly and month-to-month stories which I can share with executives, which in any other case would take up an excessive amount of of my time. Scipher.Vx+ offers me the flexibility to do different issues, than spend time on the little duties that take time however are vital regularly to trace asset operations. And I can see our operations staff utilizing this much more each day for certain, as Utopus expands on the capabilities sooner or later.
