Predict gearbox failures, quantify wake losses, and recover yield — on your turbine SCADA. Or get a one-off Wind Performance Audit.

Normal Behavior Modelling on your existing SCADA — temperature, power, wind speed. We flag developing drivetrain faults 3–12 months out, quantify wake losses on the farm map, and price recovery turbine by turbine.

Overview

Physics-informed wind turbine analytics.

NuraVolt's wind analytics platform brings the same physics-informed ML approach proven on PV to wind energy. Analysing your existing SCADA, we detect gearbox and bearing failures 3–12 months before they occur — saving €200K–500K per avoided failure. Power-curve analysis quantifies underperformance with IEC-compliant methods, and wake modelling optimises farm-level output.

Built on Normal Behavior Modelling: the platform learns what "healthy" operation looks like for each turbine, then flags deviations that indicate developing faults. No additional sensors required — temperature, power, and wind-speed data you already collect.

Critical issues we solve

Unplanned Gearbox Failures: €200K–500K repair costs plus weeks of downtime that early detection prevents.

Hidden Underperformance: Power-curve degradation from blade erosion, yaw misalignment, or pitch errors going undetected.

Unquantified Wake Losses: 10–20% of potential output lost to wake interactions without visibility.

Reactive Maintenance: Fixing failures after they happen instead of preventing them proactively.

Bearing Failures: Generator and main-bearing failures that escalate to major component damage.

Curtailment Confusion: Difficulty distinguishing grid curtailment from actual performance issues.

Farm-Level Blind Spots: Per-turbine monitoring missing aggregate patterns and optimisation opportunities.

OEM Data Lock-In: Limited access to analytics beyond what turbine manufacturers provide.


Capabilities

Advanced wind monitoring capabilities

Comprehensive analytics for onshore and offshore wind farms, built on physics-informed ML.

Power Curve Analysis

Compare actual power output against OEM curves with air density correction. IEC 61400-12-1 compliant bin method analysis quantifies underperformance and estimates AEP losses.

Analog to PV Performance Ratio

Gearbox Predictive Maintenance

Normal Behavior Modeling (NBM) trains on healthy SCADA data to predict expected temperatures. Large residuals between predicted and actual indicate developing faults 3-12 months in advance.

Catch failures before $200K+ repairs

Wake Effect Modeling

Jensen/Park analytical model with wake superposition. Calculate farm-level power accounting for upstream turbine wakes. Direction sweep analysis reveals optimal operating conditions.

Recover 1-3% farm output

Anomaly Detection

Isolation Forest unsupervised detection identifies operating points that deviate from expected power curve behavior. Pinpoints curtailment, icing, yaw misalignment, and degradation.

Distinguish fault types automatically

Drivetrain Health Monitoring

Multi-component monitoring: gearbox bearing temperature, oil temperature, generator bearings (drive-end and non-drive-end). Trend analysis estimates remaining useful life.

Full drivetrain visibility

SCADA Integration

Connects to existing turbine SCADA systems. Uses standard signals: wind speed, power, rotor speed, pitch angle, nacelle temperature. No additional sensors required.

Power Curve Efficiency

Calculate efficiency (actual/expected) for every 10-minute interval. Bin method creates reference curve from clean data. Detect underperformance with statistical confidence.

3-12 months advance warning

Normal Behavior Modeling

LightGBM models trained on healthy operation predict expected temperatures. Z-score monitoring detects anomalies. Multi-component tracking for gearbox and generator bearings.

Wake-Aware Forecasting

Jensen wake model with linear expansion. Sum-of-squares wake superposition for multiple upwind turbines. Direction-dependent wake loss estimation for farm power forecasting.

Months of planning time

RUL Estimation

Trend analysis on temperature residuals estimates remaining useful life. Linear regression on daily residual means projects days to failure threshold.

Why now

Built for the growing wind market

Global wind capacity is growing rapidly, with offshore wind especially expanding in Europe, Asia, and emerging markets. As turbines get larger and more complex, predictive maintenance becomes essential to avoid catastrophic failures.

Our SCADA-based approach requires no additional hardware investment. By learning normal behaviour patterns per turbine, we detect the subtle temperature anomalies that precede gearbox and bearing failures — months of lead time for maintenance planning.
