Natural Power will own and develop WindCentre, the wind farm monitoring, management and control service, to deliver effective operations across the portfolio.
Natural Power will also manage Bord Gais Energy’s 13 wind farms totaling 225MW across Ireland.
Natural Power’s WindCentre will perform remote operation and reset on some of the turbines within Bord Gais Energy’s portfolio.
Natural Power will act as an asset management partner to provide round-the-clock control room services with WindCentre for Bord Gais Energy.
WindCentre, a 24-hour control room service, is facilitated by a purpose built software solution for health and safety management, work order recording and access control.
Natural Power said the WindCentre operations database can be accessed 24/7 by the utility company’s site engineers via a secure internet connection with availability levels exceeding 99.5%, allowing area managers unprecedented levels of visibility of all work activities on wind farms under their remit.
