15/12/2021

Meridian Energy Australia and analytics and engineering outfit Onyx Insight have installed the latter’s condition monitoring system at the 70 MW Mount Millar wind farm in South Australia.

In total, 35 ecoCMS condition monitoring units are in place on turbines at the site, which Onyx said will enable the developer to extract valuable insights into asset health and reduce operations and maintenance expenditure.

Chris Baldwin, Meridian Energy Australia’s Wind Operations Manager, said: “Arming our engineering teams with strategic insights on asset health means a greater return on investment across our fleet.”

Hiren Limbachiya, Onyx Insight Regional Manager, added: “Australia is one of the most exciting wind markets in Asia-Pacific, with significant untapped onshore and offshore potential and several large mega-projects in the pipeline.
