Key Wind Farm O&M Pain Points

Periodic manual inspection leads to delayed risk detection & high costs

·  25% mechanical failures result in 95% unit downtime, mechanical faults account for 50% of total outage hours

·  Manual patrol & scheduled maintenance occupies 25%~30% of total wind farm expenditure; mountain & offshore access is extremely difficult

·  Permafrost, sandstorm, salt fog & extreme temperature cause uneven tower settlement & collapse risks

·  Long-term vibration loosens tower flange bolts without real-time monitoring, replacement cost is huge

·  li>Quarterly inspections only discover faults after occurrence, unable to predict slow foundation deformation and cut power generation revenue

Solution: Adopt high-precision sensing hardware for 24/7 online monitoring to detect structural hazards in advance.
