3 How to improve performance of electrical drivetrain Back to basics: combine components and knowhow Q/A during development process What to measure? Needs, must-haves, nice-to-haves. Need of additional sensors? How and who to analyze? Cost versus advantage Real condition of old assets? Big data? Can 10 min average data be used to analyze millisecond phenomena's? Cyber security. How to ensure?. No need for additional sensors Utilize converter as the brain of the system Sensors, data collection/transmission not a real issue Existing big data only as support We have almost all we need: speed, current, voltage frequency, temperatures, torque.. AND we have the domain knowledge. May 31, 2018 Slide 3

4 Pilot case Site survey and 12 turbines connected to ABB Ability Learnings so far Owner had no KPI for turbine maintenance, except for spare prices and consumption Asset health differ even with the turbines of same site and age Different behavior between turbines Maintenance information missing Components not maintained accessible to component suppliers recommendations Other component faults and trips recorded as converter faults Components not operated accessible to original specification Electrical drivetrain not running optimal as subsystem Fault and wear out in main breaker could be identified from converter data Pilot installation has generated lot of new ideas for new offering by combining domain knowledge and correct measuring data Opening huge amount of opportunities for further developments Surprising?
