FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - May 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Chicago, Illinois – WINDPOWER 2013 – May 5 - 8 – Booth 2417 – ICONICS, winner of the  Microsoft® Sustainability Partner of the Year award, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and provider of Web-enabled, industrial visualization software for Microsoft Windows® operating systems, announces a greatly expanded Wind AnalytiX® software solution. This new solution offers extensive integration of energy and meter sources into one unified platform with real-time monitoring, an extensive data historian, advanced distributed alarm management and notification and data analytics.

Wind AnalytiX quickly turns large amounts of real-time and historical data into valuable information and monitors renewables' Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). Advanced dashboards deliver a rich user experience and KPIs needed for optimum renewables management and help drive continuous improvement. Additional data analysis capabilities assure renewable assets are online and producing at specified performance. When failures do occur, Wind AnalytiX issues alerts and maintenance notifications and will provide automatic guidance resulting in reduced downtime and reduced costs related to diagnostics and repairs.

The Wind AnalytiX suite includes the following applications.

EarthWorX™ – Integrate live maps using ESRI mapping technology as well as Google Maps and Microsoft Bing Maps. Quickly view geographically dispersed wind and renewable assets, visualize real-time and historical equipment faults. View real-time data using patented Smart Pin Technology. Users can quickly zoom or pan through maps to navigate across their entire renewable assets and operations.

PortalWorX™ – Simple-to-configure dashboard technology delivers the world’s leading visualization to any Web browser. PortalWorX integrates with Microsoft SharePoint® and Silverlight® and provides customizable KPIs, charting, Excel grids, alarming, reports and many other dashboard Web parts. Easily customizable Web portals provide comprehensive, personalized visibility of your operations, maintenance and financial information, to help make decisions.

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.

Hyper Historian™ – An extremely high performance Plant Historian that can archive high volumes of equipment condition, power, and power quality data at high resolution and then deliver complex analysis, charting and reporting.  

AssetWorX™ – An Intelligent Asset Technology that allows users to define assets and apply sophisticated intelligence and analytics to these assets. Defined assets can include wind turbines and substations based on the IEC61400 and IEC61850 standards. Analyses can be performed for energy aggregation and turbine performance. AssetWorX significantly decreases overall engineering time for the largest of wind power and utility operations.

"Soaring oil prices and Middle East political instability are accelerating demand and simplifying justification of new wind power projects, which stimulates the market need for automation tools necessary to maximize production of wind energy that have the most dramatic effect on profitability and asset utilization,” said Craig Resnick, Research Director, ARC Advisory Group. “Solutions such as ICONICS’ Wind AnalytiX provide the information needed through visualization and reporting tools that help wind power projects maximize their operational efficiency and reduce costs.”
