The wind industry is growing up

•  1984 – Onshore – 250kW / 25m dia •  Simple controls & monitoring via SCADA •  Handful of sensors •  “Agricultural” engineering

•  2004 – First “near” offshore UK wind farm – 2,000kW / 80m dia

•  Scroby Sands – Vestas V80 “Onshore” turbine •  Early drive train “Condition Monitoring System” (CMS)

•  2013 – Alstom / Areva / Samsung / Siemens / Vestas - 6,000kW / 155m dia

•  Designed for offshore •  1000+ sensors •  CMS on drive train, rotor, structure(?)

•  2023 - Far offshore – 10,000kW / 200m dia

•  Designed for reliability •  Integrated control, condition monitoring and asset management tools •  Comprehensive remote diagnostics and prognostics

What is Condition Monitoring? - Purpose

Using … •  Status monitoring = For routine reporting and operational safety •  Fault detection = finding problem (after failure = needs repair) •  Diagnostic = finding cause of problem •  Prognostic = predicting future failure To … •  Enable service crew to address problem:

•  Before failure (ie. minimising maintenance cost & lost revenue)

•  At planned time (eg low wind) •  On their first visit

•  Understand root cause of problem (may feed back to design) •  Minimise workload of engineer input looking at data from multiple sites

Page 11: Reducing costs of offshore wind - Opportunities for ... · Reducing costs of offshore wind - Opportunities for condition monitoring ... Bently Nevada (GE) ... Emerson Process Management

What is Condition Monitoring? - Data

•  Wind turbine controller •  Between 1 and 50 samples / sec [Hz] •  In excess of 1000 ‘sensors’

•  SCADA

•  Events and 10 minute average data •  Some moves to “on change” data logging

•  “Condition Monitoring System” (CMS)

•  50,000 samples / sec [Hz] •  Frequency analysis •  Drive train, and increasingly rotor

•  Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)

•  Around 5 samples per second •  Strain; Scour; Corrosion;

Condition monitoring: recent trends

1.  Market for condition monitoring systems has not grown as fast as anticipated 5 years ago

2.  All offshore wind turbine manufacturers include some level of CMS. Most are independent ‘add on’ systems – Some now integrated

3.  WTMs and others bringing experience from other sectors

4.  Technical trend towards: •  Use of more types of sensor •  Monitoring more components •  Looking wider across systems •  Analysing data from many turbines, centrally •  Use of more wind turbine design understanding and modelling

Condition monitoring: what is a CMS good & not good at

ü Bearing damage •  Detect and prognose •  Gearbox (especially HS stage), main bearing, generator bearings

ü Gear tooth damage •  Detect and prognose

ü Abnormal operation •  Gross yaw and pitch system defects

û Adding up fatigue life from day 1 & predicting date of failure

(and are unlikely ever to do so)

û Diagnosing root cause (not yet!)

[#12] “Offshore wind cost reduction pathways: Technology work stream”, BVG Associates, June 2012 – Available from www.bvgassociates.co.uk

2013: LCOE = 140/MWh CF = 40%

FID 2020: LCOE = 100/MWh CF = 51%

Condition Monitoring: another way

•  Think differently: combine with condition-based maintenance = focus on the components that need it

•  Challenge: •  Needs more understanding of the technology •  = input from designers of WTM, structure and other BOP components

Condition monitoring: typical business case

•  Pay €X + €Y/year •  Avoid lost revenue of €Z •  Avoid large component replacement cost of €A

•  eg set of bearings instead of complete gearbox •  1 service van instead of 4 vans and a crane etc.

•  CMS supplier examples always look great •  Detect the problem •  Generic reliability data often ‘old’

and generic

•  Customers are enjoying benefits •  Payback average 2-8 years

(looks best for larger turbines & offshore)

•  See also DECC website for simple LCOE model
