Logilube’s SmartGear technology provides real-time lube oil condition monitoring, predictive analysis of lubricant remaining-useful-life (RUL), and automated collection of in-service lube oil and lubricant filter status.
It will be applied to the drivetrains in three GE 1.5MW turbines used at Rocky Mountain Power's site located on the border of Albany and Carbon counties in the southeast of Wyoming state.
Real-time condition-based monitoring and drivetrainrp performance, and fleetwide data analytics can help operators avoid curtailment and unnecessary maintenance, the Logilube suggested.
"The resulting innovative solutions could greatly enhance the reliability of wind energy equipment, further reducing the levelised cost of electricity," Logilube CEO Bill Gillette said.
