Wind Power
Wind Power: production and BOM, stock and warehouse, shipment and reporting.
Challenges
- Output and downtime are not kept per turbine, so a faulty turbine is spotted late.
- The planned maintenance calendar is not assessed together with lost output.
- Without a capacity factor, site performance cannot be benchmarked.
- Spare-part stock is not tied to the turbine model, so the wrong part gets bought.
Workflows
Turbine and generation
- Each turbine is opened as an asset card with its model and rating.
- Periodic output and downtime are posted to the turbine.
- The capacity factor is computed against the installed capacity.
Maintenance and spare parts
- Planned maintenance is scheduled by turbine model.
- Spare-part stock is held bound to the model.
- A fault stoppage is recorded with a work order and linked to lost output.

FAQ
Can I separate output by turbine?
Yes — each turbine is a separate asset card where output and downtime are posted.
Can I compute the capacity factor?
Yes — period output is ratioed against installed capacity and the factor is derived automatically.
Can I link downtime to lost output?
Yes — the fault work order holds the downtime and the lost output is reported.
Can I bind spare parts to the model?
Yes — the part's stock card matches the turbine model and a wrong part raises a warning.
Can I schedule planned maintenance?
Yes — the model's maintenance interval lands on the calendar and upcoming work appears on the list.
