KITE WIND TURBINE MONITORING SYSTEM
KITE Wind Turbine Monitoring System
ONEPROD KITE is designed for continuous vibration monitoring of wind turbines. By detecting faults at an early stage, production uptime can be increased through scheduled and targeted maintenance.
Incorporating ONEPROD’s 30+ years of condition monitoring experience, KITE offers unmatched diagnostic capabilities on low speed rotating components. Its extensive processing power makes it possible to monitor wind turbines with high accuracy, despite their varying operating conditions.
Smart
- Built-in Shock Finder™ algorithm for detection of abnormal shocks on low-speed components
- Proven monitoring methodology for managing variable operating conditions.
Compact
- Dustproof and waterproof IP51: no enclosure required
- Size: 371 x 175 x 133 mm (14.6 x 6.89 x 5.23 inches)
- Easy DIN rail mounting
Features
Easy Installation
Compact, waterproof and dustproof to IP51, ONEPROD KITE can be installed in the nacelle without any enclosure. KITE can be easily mounted on a DIN rail. Visual assistance is marked on the product to provide fast and reliable wiring.
Designed for the wind industry
The EAGLE solution has been designed to meet the requirements of the industry. Both the EAGLE sensor and the expander have been certified for use in Zone 0 (Class I, Div. I). Its stainless steel body with very low thermal expansion makes it safe to use in the harshest environments.
IP67, EAGLE is also resistant to corrosive environments. Thanks to its wireless and automatic operation, EAGLE eliminates the need for cables or manual inspections when conditions are not conducive to these tasks.
Comprehensive monitoring of the main components
ONEPROD KITE offers 12 data acquisition channels and all the information needed for relevant powertrain and nacelle monitoring can be connected to KITE: accelerometer, tachometer and 4-20 mA or DC inputs for process information.
In addition, the parameters available in the PLC, such as wind speed, power, pitch, yaw, temperature, can be collected without any additional channel in numerical format.
Reliable monitoring of low-speed parts
ONEPROD KITE offers early fault detection capabilities for low speed rotating parts of the wind turbine, thanks to a unique set of tools designed for time domain analysis:
- automatic shock detection with the Shock Finder™ algorithm (presence and number of shocks)
- band kurtosis providing a soft alarm
- several post-processing tools, such as filters and statistical indicators
- acquisition is performed synchronously on all channels, providing easier analysis and improved diagnostic capabilities.
Decision-making assistance
The latest diagnostic and maintenance recommendations are available in real time and from anywhere in the world in the ONEPROD NEST software.
It facilitates the optimisation of the maintenance process:
- better spare parts management
- pooling of replacement operations
- eliminating systematic maintenance controls and their related costs
