Siemens Energy Service has started construction of a new, advanced remote diagnostics service (RDS) center for wind turbines in Brande, Denmark.
At the 1,400m² facility, which will be completed in autumn 2014, advanced diagnostic operations will be carried out to provide monitoring services for over 7,500 installed Siemens wind turbines globally.

The new RDS centre will ensure that the wind turbines are operating at their optimum levels of performance, said the company.
Siemens Wind Power Service head Torben Bang said the company focuses on improvement of its services in wind power sector.
"Our highly advanced, industry-leading RDS operations enable us to support those efforts by monitoring our global Siemens fleet 24/7/365 and flagging potential issues before they become serious, Bang added.
"Remote diagnostics is a key component of a smarter and integrated service approach that helps our customers lower the overall cost of energy."

By GlobalDataSiemens gives importance to Remote diagnostics as it believes that monitoring experts can solve more than 85% of all alarms remotely without a service team doing trouble-shooting onsite.
This would result in higher energy output because of reduced downtime and lower number of turbine visits.
The RDS will help Siemens find even the smallest indicator that something may not be operating normally and follow up by recommending proactive solutions before the issue becomes serious.
Additionally, with RDS, the company can make analysis of the data collected to draw trends on individual turbines as well as the overall fleet.
Based on the results, Siemens can enhance current and future designs and improve existing turbine performance over the long term.
