GE has launched a new digital product portfolio called Lifespan, which aims to enable customers to optimise renewable asset performance and operations across their fleet.
The Lifespan suite of products are fully integrated, technology agnostic, and were designed side-by-side with operators to drive improved operations, GE said.
Lifespan aims to help connect operators with the information and insights required to seamlessly drive action across all aspects of their organisation to support growing fleets by real-time command and control, and fleet and site performance.
GE onshore wind digital services chief executive Anne McEntee said: “With Lifespan, we took digital transformation to the next level.
“This new platform really shows how digital solutions can help the wind industry get the best value and outcome out of the huge wind energy fleet that exists today and will keep growing over time.”
GE said it developed Lifespan in consultation with operators and was tested and proven to run GE’s managed assets comprising 40,000 wind turbines, consisting of 20 different types across eight different OEMs.
The system currently supports the daily work of 5000 field technicians.
GE onshore wind digital services chief digital officer Brian Case said: “Lifespan came to life to solve significant challenges for GE’s customers and across our service fleets.
“We designed the product to connect all aspects of the organisation to drive efficient operations; deploying the latest technology to create an integrated user experience, robust data management, expanded analytics, and provide information at the fingertips of field teams and our customers.
“It increases transparency across all facets of an organisation from the CEO/asset manager to field operations.”
