Wind 360 dashboard
The Wind 360 application for IBM Foundation for Energy has dashboards that have differing access rights dependent on the user profile.
Deputy manager - KPI Dashboard
- Farm KPI report
- The KPI report dashboard shows the overall operation index of the wind farm. The index is developed from four dimensions: power production, turbine availability, wind power conversion rate and turbine health. The deputy manager can also see the overall ranking among similar wind farms. The color of the scores represents different ranges: red: <60, yellow: 60-80, green: >=80.
- Power Generation report
- The Power Generation report shows the power production in MW, loss due to down time in MW and the total lost time compared over a three week period, the previous complete two weeks and current week.
- MTBF and MTBR report
MTBF - Mean Time Between Failure
MTTR - Mean Time To Restore
The MTBF and MTBR report shows the comparison between MTBF and MTTR over the previous eight months. The time period can be altered.
- Maintenance Cost report
The Maintenance Cost report compares the cost of maintenance of the turbines over the same time period of this year and last year on a monthly basis. You can use the calendar to choose the time period you want to view.
- Utilization Hours report
The Utilization Hours report shows the power generated, loss time and utilization hours during the period of time selected from the calendar.
Utilization hour = power generation / turbine full capacity. The Utilization Hours report is the most important KPI for a wind farm.- Weather Forecast report
The Weather Forecast report, shows the weather information such as temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and humidity. You are also provided with maintenance suggestions according to the weather condition. The wind speed shows also for the next 12 hours.
All the weather data is from The Weather Company API.
Operational Engineer - Monitoring dashboard
- The Map and list views
- The Map view shows a visualization of data items associated with their relevant positions on the
map. Using the information displayed on the map together with the list view, you can identify
location patterns. A score for each turbine indicates the working effectiveness of each
turbine.
You can view the basic information for each turbine by hovering over the icon representing the turbine. The hover card shows the turbine serial number, working status, index score, and wind speed. The icon color is consistent with the legend color.
- Wind Speed and Direction Trend report
The Wind Speed and Direction Trend report shows the wind condition for the farm. You can hover on it to see the condition for a specific day. The deep blue part of the report represents the past, and the light blue part represents the forecast for the future days.
- Farm report
- The Farm report shows the three reports:
- Power generation report
- Utilization Hours report
- Turbine Availability report
- Turbine report
- The Turbine report shows three reports for an individual turbine:
- Turbine KPI report shows the overall operation index for a single turbine. The index is developed from four dimensions: power production, turbine availability, wind power convention rate and turbine health. The color of the scores represents different ranges: red: <60; yellow: 60-80, green: >=80.
- Power curve report shows the actual power curve of the wind turbine compared to the conceptual power curve. If the curves differ greatly, then the turbine is not operating in its optimum state.
- Utilization Hours report shows the utilization hours for a single wind turbine.
- Turbine detail report
- The Turbine detail report shows three reports:
- Turbine basic information shows the real-time data including active production, wind speed, communication state. The Turbine detail report also shows the turbine type, identification number, installation date, region of installation, wind farm information, and working wind speed.
- Health Degradation report shows the information for health / failure risk and asset details for the major components of the turbine, blade, generator, and transformer.
- Real-Time Monitoring shows 11 real time readings for: Wind Speed, Angle-Blade1, Angle-Blade2, Angle-Blade3, Power At, Turbine Speed, Vibration-X, Vibration-Y, Wind Direction, Yaw Speed, Yaw Wind Direction.
Deputy Manager - Maintenance Dashboard
The Maintenance Dashboard for the Wind360 application gives the user an automatic and optimized maintenance plan that takes into consideration differing constraints and goals. The user can review the plan. The user can also action to generate work orders for different maintenance engineers.
