Successfully managing global energy supply is crucial to all infrastructures and the maintenance of society worldwide. Energy production and distribution involve many industries whose main challenges today revolve around productivity, continuity, safety, and reliability.

Our customers in the Energy and Power sector face a number of continuously evolving challenges that range from addressing safety, environmental and sustainability issues to managing financial risks and tighter technical requirements. Companies have to comply with increasingly complex regulatory requirements and improving operational performance. Addressing these issues relies on ad-hoc engineering modeling methodologies that must accurately tackle operational and accidental events applicable to the production and transportation installations. Therefore, effective realistic modeling is paramount to staying competitive. Effective realistic modeling calls for a high level of innovation.

Design Performance and Integrity Assessment in the Oil & Gas Industry

Prediction of equipment performance under extreme conditions to reduce outages and repair costs in the Oil & Gas industry. ESI’s Virtual Prototyping approach encompasses the accurate prediction of in-service and accidental loads, the performance evaluation, and the integrity assessment including the influence of manufacturing the components. 

Developing and Virtually Testing Windmill Technology

Predict performance and risks related to mechanical equipment and optimization of manufacturing processes of windmill components. Reach the optimal health monitoring for wind turbines and reduce operation and maintenance costs while ensuring high performance.

Reaching the optimal health monitoring for wind turbines and reducing operation and maintenance costs while ensuring a high level of performance remains the biggest challenge for Wind Farms. Today, new approaches allow you to alleviate remaining gaps (e.g. data availability, representatively, and physical behavior) and address the specificities of each farm.

In this webinar, we highlight how the coupling of physics-based model with data analytics and machine learning enriches turbine monitoring and opens new fields for Wind Farm owners in their predictive maintenance strategy.
