NOTTINGHAM, England, April 2, 2025 -- EDF Renewables, a global leader in renewable energy, has selected ONYX Insight to centralise condition monitoring across its wind turbine fleet using the hardware-agnostic fleetMONITOR platform. This initiative enhances EDF Renewables' ability to assess drivetrain health, optimise maintenance, and improve operational efficiency across 5GW of assets.
As an operator of more than 14.2GW of renewable assets worldwide, EDF Renewables faced challenges in consolidating data from multiple Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS). Seeking a scalable solution, EDF Renewables turned to fleetMONITOR to streamline monitoring and maintenance strategies.
A Unified Approach to Fleet Monitoring
EDF Renewables' wind fleet spans multiple geographies and CMS hardware including multiple third-party providers and ONYX's own ecoCMS and ecoCMS Flex. Managing these systems separately increased the risk of missed faults and inefficiencies in maintenance planning. EDF Renewables needed a single analytics platform to integrate CMS technologies and provide actionable insights for optimised operations and maintenance (O&M).
Optimising Operations with fleetMONITOR
ONYX Insight deployed fleetMONITOR to provide EDF Renewables' Condition Monitoring Engineers at the company's e-Diagnostic Centre (eDC) in Colombiers and Montpellier, France, with a platform refined by over 10 years of failure data. This enables EDF Renewables to improve predictive maintenance, streamline fault detection, and drive operational efficiencies.
Following a technical evaluation, EDF Renewables selected ONYX Insight for its decade of expertise in hardware-agnostic condition monitoring and proven results. The partnership began in 2022 with a pilot programme and grew into a long-term collaboration. ONYX provided in-depth training to ensure adoption of fleetMONITOR.
By the end of 2025, EDF Renewables will monitor over 5GW of assets worldwide in fleetMONITOR, demonstrating the scalability and operational benefits of the platform.
"Our collaboration with EDF Renewables highlights the scalability and flexibility of fleetMONITOR," said Sven Thiesen, Director of Sales & Engineering - Europe at ONYX Insight. "By equipping EDF's team with the right tools and training, we've enabled the eDC to unlock the full potential of their wind energy assets."
