Atlanta, Georgia – WINDPOWER 2012 – June 3-6, 2012 – Booth #5916 -   ICONICS, a Microsoft® Gold Certified Partner of the Year and provider of Web-enabled, industrial visualization software for Microsoft Windows® operating systems, announces a greatly expanded Wind AnalytiX® Software solution. This new solution quickly turns large amounts of real-time and historical data into valuable information to drive continuous improvement. Real-time dashboards deliver the KPI’s and Insights needed for optimum management. Additional analysis capability assures generation assets are on-line and producing at specified performance. When failures do occur, Wind AnalytiX issues alerts and maintenance notifications and will provide automatic guidance to a list of solutions resulting in reduced downtime and costs related to diagnostic and repair.

Wind AnalytiX now includes the following suite of applications:

• PortalWorX™ – Simple-to-configure dashboard technology delivers the world’s leading visualization to any Web browser. Based on Microsoft SharePoint™ and Silverlight™, PortalWorX provides customizable layouts, KPIs, GEO SCADA, charting, Excel grids, alarming, reports and many other dashboard Web parts.

•AssetWorX™ – An Intelligent Asset Technology. Users can now define any data as properties of assets and apply sophisticated intelligence to assets. Assets can be defined in exact accordance with wind turbine and substation models as defined by IEC61400 and IEC61850 standards and can include powerful analysis algorithms, such as energy aggregation and normalization, and turbine performance analysis. AssetWorX significantly decreases engineering time needed to implement a system, and the intuitive Asset Navigator, provides simple and rapid navigation to items of interest, for even the largest of wind power and utility operations.

• FDDWorX™ - A Fault Detection and Diagnostics Solution – Advanced algorithms analyze, detect and predict equipment and efficiency faults.  When faults do occur the system provides a list of probable causes, with current estimated probabilities.
