WindPower Energy

WindPower Energy is a professional wind power operator managing multiple aging wind farms that urgently needed technology upgrades and digital transformation to improve operational efficiency.

Client Background

Founded in 2008, WindPower Energy was one of the early entrants in China's wind power sector, operating 800MW installed capacity. However, most wind farms were built early with severe equipment aging, leading to continuous decline in power generation efficiency and economic benefits.

Challenge

The core problems faced by the company included: low efficiency of aging wind turbines, high failure rates, continuously rising O&M costs, lack of effective predictive maintenance systems, low digitalization leading to poor management efficiency, and cost pressure from grid parity requirements.
