NKE FERSA and Nanoprecise Enhance Wind Turbine Maintenance
NKE FERSA and Nanoprecise Team Up for Wind Turbine Innovation
This strategic partnership introduces an AI-based condition monitoring solution that promises to transform wind farm operations worldwide.
To redefine wind turbine maintenance, NKE FERSA, an Austrian premium bearing manufacturer, and Nanoprecise, a Canadian predictive maintenance specialist, have launched their new and innovative Condition Monitoring System for wind turbines.
Rafael Paniagua, CEO of FERSA, stated, "Our partnership with Nanoprecise represents a fusion of NKE FERSA's deep understanding of wind applications and Nanoprecise's innovative maintenance solution. This collaboration allows us to offer wind farm operators a comprehensive solution that detects potential issues before they impact energy production, while significantly extending the lifespan of the equipment."
A Breakthrough in Wind Turbine Technology
The NKE Condition Monitoring System uses Nanoprecise's cutting-edge technology, featuring a groundbreaking 6-in-1 wireless sensor supported by an advanced AI-driven cloud-based platform. This revolutionary system continuously monitors critical parameters in wind turbines, including vibration, temperature, humidity, acoustic emission, speed, and magnetic flux, providing extensive and precise insights into performance.
Artificial Intelligence in Predictive Maintenance
At the core of the system is Nanoprecise's patented energy-centric condition monitoring solution, which combines a gen-AI powered platform with an edge AI-enabled 6-in-1 sensor. Together with NKE FERSA's expertise, the solution provides predictive maintenance information specifically designed for wind farm operators.
Sunil Vedula, Founder and CEO of Nanoprecise, remarked, "Bearing faults are responsible for a majority of a wind turbine's planetary gearbox downtime. Our patented wavelet neural network algorithms allow us to diagnose specific faults within gearbox components. This capability enables us to monitor not just the turbines' health but also deliver actionable insights that significantly reduce downtime, increase turbine availability, and make green energy more affordable."
Driving Efficiency in Wind Farm Operations
The NKE Condition Monitoring System aims to deliver a rapid return on investment for wind farm operators through:
- Comprehensive monitoring of wind turbine drivetrain applications
- Advanced predictive maintenance capabilities
- Quick and easy installation process
- Improved turbine performance and reduced downtime
- Extended equipment lifespan
Global Expansion and Support
Initial focus is set on North American and European markets, however, NKE FERSA and Nanoprecise plan to extend their reach globally. The system will soon be available for wind farm operators worldwide, backed by comprehensive technical support that blends application knowledge, tribology, and vibration analysis expertise.
Hugo Santos, Chief Business Development Officer of FERSA, added, "This launch represents a significant advancement in wind turbine maintenance and efficiency. We're not just offering a product; we're providing a solution that contributes substantially to the growth and optimization of the renewable energy sector."
