DART WINDMILL CASE STUDY


DART monitoring on a windmill application

In the Windmills of Your Mind… getting a wind turbine turning again is one thing.

Keeping it turning is another.

After more than six months of downtime, EDC Scotland and Drive Analysis and Remote Telemetry engineers successfully restored a wind turbine to operation following a comprehensive drive and electrical system overhaul.

But how do you help prevent history repeating itself?

That's where DART remote drive monitoring comes in.

With a DART monitoring device installed in the revamped panel, the operator now has remote visibility of critical performance and environmental data, including:

Energy export – tracking generation performance month by month.
Cabinet temperature – monitoring conditions that could affect drive reliability.
Humidity levels – identifying moisture-related risks before they become costly problems.

By providing continuous insight into operating conditions, DART helps engineers make informed maintenance decisions and reduce reliance on reactive fault-finding.

Because restoring generation is only half the job. Keeping the power flowing is what really matters.
