DDAU III Monitoring of Wind Turbines
Instruction Manual

NEXT-GEN MONITORING

Wind turbine technology has developed immensely over the past years but many turbines are still operating today with high maintenance costs and high downtime.
Different types of wind turbines are being used under a wide range of conditions, but they all have one important need in common – proper machine healthcare.

Unfortunately, many legacy monitoring systems can no longer keep up with today’s increasing requirements for turbine maintenance, cyber-security, availability and reliability.
What if there was a condition monitoring solution that is intelligent and powerful enough to meet all of these challenges and even more?

360 DEGREE MONITORING

A viable condition monitoring solution effectively cuts down the life-cycle costs of the turbine, reduces downtime, and adds value to your wind park. It is no longer just for detecting a developing fault and issuing an alarm. In fact, the condition monitoring solution is today a vital part of the entire operation and maintenance infrastructure.  Important asset decisions have to be made reliably and quickly and must be based on precise information.

This is where DDAU3 comes in, a key element of our successful wind turbine condition monitoring solution.
It reduces operation and maintenance costs and increases the profitability of your wind park by optimizing system integration, expandability, upgradability, scalability, flexibility, and cyber-security. It is also the portal to our renowned diagnostic services. This is what we call 360° monitoring capability.

ALL SENSES TOGETHER IN WIND TURBINE APPLICATION

DDAU3 delivers a holistic approach to monitoring wind turbines.
Seamless connectivity between DDAU3, sensors, controller units, SCADA system, and data historian enables you to view more than just vibration.
Together with wind speed, power, wear debris, temperatures, blade pitch, yaw, etc., you get an overview of turbine and fleet health and performance across the entire operational spectrum. Comparison and correlation of this data let you not only detect machine wear, but also fleet-wide, site-specific and weather-related faults as well as manufacturing, transportation, and assembly- related issues.

CATION
The greater the level of interlinking of events we are able to identify, the greater the prospect of increasing turbine performance, production levels, and uptime while at the same time reducing risks and mitigating downtime and unforeseen expenses.

By bringing all senses together through connectivity, enables DDAU3 to give a much broader overview of the wind turbine and its components, and even a better understanding of the failure modes that adversely affect your turbines.

FLEET MONITORING
DDAU3 is a critical part of Brüel & Kjær Vibro’s comprehensive condition monitoring solution, but it is not the only part. VibroSuite goes one step further by giving access to  the turbine data in all the wind parks.
This is called fleet monitoring, which gives an overview of the status and remaining useful life of all the turbines and turbine components, such as:

  • Turbine and turbine component fault statistics (%)
  • Turbines fault severity (%)
  • Turbine condition monitoring connectivity
  • Comparison of different turbine types

FULL OVERVIEW INDUSTRIAL IoT

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is changing the way in how things interact and connect together, the way data is shared and services are provided. IIoT solutions allow  you to correlate data to give you a full overview on the health and performance of your assets. Machine condition monitoring technology is gradually moving in this direction  and DDAU3 is already there.

True edge device
DDAU3 makes it easy to connect your assets in the cloud.
Onboard calculation power
Reduces the load on your cloud servers and the network. This results in lower maintenance costs and even higher profitability of your infrastructure.
Data every time, everywhere With secure mobile device access see data on your Android, iOS, or Windows devices.

Cyber-security
Work with your data in the cloud without compromising data security.
The DDAU3 uses secure, encrypted data interfaces and has a strong device identity. DDAU3 also uses an internal firewall to separate two independent networks (e.g. production and office networks).
Machine-learning ready
Get more out of your data with automatic machine learning algorithms and pattern recognition.

The high connectivity capability of DDAU3 enables you to acquire data from SCADA and other sources in order to get a more accurate picture on the condition of the turbine.  This is important since operational conditions influence the vibration response of a machine, thus making it difficult to distinguish if a fault is related to a defect or a change in  the running parameters. DDAU3 uses an available controller and sensor data (load, wind speed, pitch angle, etc.) to categorize the measured vibration data to specific machine state classes. This reduces false alarms and saves you time and effort while providing the longest possible lead time. DDAU3 also enables data to be transferred to a data historian for viewing them in diagnostic plots or doing post-processing analysis.
