bp Wind Energy first engaged with ONYX Insight, the global leader in predictive maintenance solutions, in 2016 to deploy its multi-brand fleetMONITOR technology across 242 of bp’s onshore wind turbines.

After this success, bp moved as a market leader to deploy ecoCMS on 133 turbines. The next-generation condition monitoring solution from ONYX delivered precise analytics on the health of their assets.

With a successful payback under 12 months, bp adopted the product as its go-to technology for wind turbine predictive maintenance, expanding its deployment to 525 turbines, with a complex array of makes and models.

“By leveraging ONYX’s technology, we can better understand the life span of turbine components at our wind farms, improve maintenance schedules, reduce costs and avoid breakdowns.

This agreement helps bp Wind Energy remain a technology leader. It also supports our commitment to produce secure, affordable, lower-carbon energy while accelerating our net-zero ambition.”

With a successful payback under 12 months, bp adopted the product as its go-to technology for wind turbine predictive maintenance, expanding its deployment to 525 turbines, with a complex array of makes and models.

The next challenge was to streamline operations and bring efficiency to the process of managing failures from first detection through inspection, asset decision and repair. This married well to ONYX’s AI HUB development and the organisations collaborated closely on the case management product, yielding a user-driven, wind industry-tailored product.

And now some eight years later, in 2023, bp Wind Energy have signed a five-year extension contract with ONYX to continue to support them with world-leading technology and wind turbine engineering knowledge. This will enable BP Wind Energy to extend the life of its US turbines further and expand the resource base of its in-house performance engineering unit.
