BP Wind Energy is to deploy Onyx Insight’s predictive maintenance technology across its US onshore wind portfolio.
The latest long-term deal between the companies will see Onyx continue the delivery of engineering, technical and analytics solutions to BP for the next five years, following a seven-year relationship.
The two companies have worked together since 2016, when Onyx first deployed its fleetMONITOR condition monitoring software across 242 of BP’s onshore turbines.
In 2017, BP deployed Onyx’s ecoCMS advanced sensing at scale and will continue its use as part of the new deal.
The technology is a unique blend of advanced sensing and analytics, delivering effective data that allows engineers to understand the health of their assets.
With successful payback in under 12 months, BP adopted the project as it’s “go-to technology for turbine predictive maintenance”.
“By leveraging Onyx’s technology, we can better understand the life span of turbine components at our wind farms, improve maintenance schedules, reduce costs and avoid breakdowns,” said Alistair Warwick, CEO BP Wind Energy.
He added: “This agreement helps BP Wind Energy remain a technology leader. It also supports our commitment to produce secure, affordable, lower-carbon energy while accelerating our net zero ambition.”
