AI Generator Vibration Analysis
The Problem
“Prevent generator failures with vibration intelligence”
Organizations face these key challenges:
1
Late detection of developing faults leading to forced outages and collateral damage (bearings, seals, rotor/stator components)
2
High false-alarm rates from static thresholds and changing operating regimes, overwhelming reliability teams
3
Limited expert availability and inconsistent diagnostics across sites, causing slow root-cause identification and suboptimal maintenance timing
Impact When Solved
Detect incipient vibration anomalies weeks earlier than threshold alarms, enabling planned repairs instead of emergency tripsReduce vibration-related forced outage hours by 10–30% and improve unit availability by 0.2–0.8 percentage points fleet-wideLower maintenance cost and downtime by cutting nuisance alarms and focusing work on highest-risk machines (20–50% fewer unnecessary work orders)
Real-World Use Cases
Predictive Maintenance Framework for Wind Turbine Blade Erosion
This is like putting a smart ‘health monitor’ on wind turbine blades so you can tell when their edges are wearing down long before they fail, and schedule service at the best time instead of waiting for breakdowns.
