How industrial internet impacts wind power

The consumer Internet helped people across the globe interact with each other in ways never before imagined, and those connections created enormous amounts of data. In the same way, when billions of machines connect with each other through the Industrial Internet, analysis of the resulting data could unlock considerable value for industrial operations.

Wind turbines also generate a substantial amount of data. For instance, GE continuously monitors a fleet of over 19,000 turbines that generate ~ 1 Petabyte of data every year. The Industrial Internet uses the power of data and analytics to drive informed decisions such as improved energy yields, better predictability, higher productivity, superior performance and improved grid compliance for wind farm operators.
