Production Losses from Undetected Mechanical Deterioration
Definition
Turbine performance monitoring gaps cause undetected issues in low-speed shafts, gearboxes, and generators that directly impact electricity production. Without predictive condition monitoring, turbines experience unplanned downtime and reduced availability. Operators lose revenue-generating capacity due to idle equipment from preventable failures.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Millions annually per wind farm from lost MWh production
- Frequency: Weekly downtime events across turbine fleets
- Root Cause: Insufficient real-time data analytics and anomaly detection in monitoring systems

Financial Impact
$1.2M per major gearbox failure preventable by early detection • $1.5M from production shortfalls and liquidated damages • $1M+ annually from unfulfilled corporate RE100 targets and penalty clauses
Current Workarounds
Aggregate periodic production and availability reports from sponsors into Excel, compare against underwriting models, and manually estimate lost MWh and associated tax and cash distributions, often with limited visibility into avoidable vs. unavoidable losses. • Asset Manager compiles failure history in Excel for buyer penalty negotiations • Asset Manager tracks MTBF in Excel from technician WhatsApp reports
