Post-mortem wind turbine downtime analysis with AI

EDP Renewables North America

The “Post-mortem Wind Turbine Downtime Analysis with AI” project is crucial for EDPR NA as it aims to increase the accuracy and reduce the efforts to manually edit data from wind-turbine downtimes, leading to better maintenance management and operational efficiency. The main challenges include automating the classification of downtime data and handling unbalanced datasets.. Enlightenment.AI is interested in this project to explore the US market and the renewable energy industry, leverage our AI expertise, and foster collaboration with key players such as EDPR NA. This aligns with our goal to contribute to sustainable energy solutions and expand our international presence.
