The Power Factors Drive Plus solution is being implemented by BP Wind Energy to provide the technical asset management platform for its portfolio of wind assets, totaling more than 1,600 MW across nine sites in North America.

The software solution from Power Factors closes the loop between asset performance data and issue resolution by seamlessly linking operational events to work orders, inventory and contracts for smarter dispatch, repair and reporting. The asset performance management program analyzes high-speed time series data from any supervisory control and data acquisition system, industrial internet of things device or third-party data system to aggregate and normalize information.

Original equipment manufacturer and user-defined business and engineering rules are applied to identify operational events affecting production, performance and commercial compliance. Drive auto-classifies off-normal equipment operations for use in advanced troubleshooting, analytics, reporting and notifications.

“Increasing investment in renewables is a key part of our ambition to become a net zero company by 2050 or sooner and digitalization will play a significant role in creating value as we implement our new strategy,” said Al Vickers, CEO of BP Wind Energy. “We are pleased to partner with Power Factors as we seek to gain efficiencies and performance insights from implementation of the PF Drive Plus platform.”
