Onyx secures new contracts

28/02/2019

UK predictive analytics provider Onyx InSight has secured multiple new long-term contracts with US renewable power company Pattern Energy for its wind assets.

Under the contract, Onyx will provide predictive maintenance services across Pattern Energy’s four wind farms, with a total capacity of 950 MW, in North America. The contracts take the total number of Pattern Energy sites under Onyx monitoring to five.

Onyx will be installing condition monitoring systems on 234 turbines across two wind farms and will also provide monitoring and analysis of maintenance data across Pattern’s portfolio for a period of three years.

For the K2 and Armow wind farms located in Ontario, Onyx will connect installed vibration sensors to its hardware-agnostic asset predictive platform, fleetMONITOR.

Onyx’s predictive maintenance services are expected to provide a complete view of performance, incorporating oil, temperature and maintenance data across Pattern Energy’s 950 MW fleet, which comprises 532 turbines.
