Artificial Intelligence Enhanced Superior Lubrication System

The project builds on patented sensor and oil filtration technology to create an integrated ‘intelligent lubrication’ system, powered by AI.  The project represents a step-change in lubrication performance monitoring and management by moving oil monitoring away from costly, single-point manual sampling to continuous monitoring, analysis and insight generation, inline with an advanced oil filtration system. The system will provide customers with a live view of oil health, diagnose anomalous behaviour and maintain oil in an ultra clean state. Maintaining oil cleanliness at this condition, which hasn't been done before, results in potential reductions in mechanical wear by up to 93%.

This will greatly reduce major turbine component failure rates and positively influence the LCOE of wind energy. The solution also enables a significant reduction in carbon emissions compared to current practice. The technology will reduce the requirement for oil changes by a factor of 5 and virtually eliminates the main reason for anyone needing to access the turbine.
