SIEMENS : Oceans of Data from the World's Offshore Wind Farms 4-Traders

Artificial intelligence is helping to monitor wind turbines in some of the world's most remote locations. Many of these turbines are going offshore where there's plenty of space and winds blow the strongest. But remote locations also make it harder to fix turbines if something goes wrong. In Denmark'sNorth Sea, service vessels aren't even able to travel to the turbines four to five months of the year because of rough seas. And it often takes a crane to work on the gigantic turbines, each with blades as big as the wingspan of an Airbus A380 airliner. Wind turbines – like a lot of machinery – have been autonomous for decades.
