If a non-permanent condition monitoring solution is combine IIoT and data mining technologies to improve turbine uptime. A suite of sensors monitoring the braking needed, such as for commissioning or troubleshooting, the

Universal Control (UC) Case, developed by Svendborg system provides data on a variety of parameters such as sys- tem pressure, brake pad wear, brake position, brake piston, Brakes, provides this functionality for wind turbine brake systems. Contained in a compact, lightweight case, the brake ?uid levels, and temperature. This data is then up- loaded to the cloud, where big data analytics is carried out UC Case can remotely access data from wind turbines and enable direct online intervention from technicians to aid to provide accurate diagnosis on the condition of key com- ponents, and crucially, to predict any potential reliability maintenance work. Easily operated by a technician with risks well in advance of failure. This means operators can general training, the UC Case uploads data to the Cloud or manually downloads to USB memory to allow offsite eliminate unforeseen breakdowns and their costly reper- cussions. Moreover, data insights can inform a long-term in-depth analysis of the braking system. Importantly for preventative maintenance strategy, ensuring that speci?c wind turbine operators, the UC Case has the ability to deliver signi?cant cost savings when compared to the ex- brake components can be highlighted for repair or replace- pense of transporting a technician to the installation. Fur- ment at the optimum time.
