INNOVATIVE ARCHITECTURE AMID
OF THE OLDEST HISTORIC STREETS
ONE
IN BRAZIL
Eólica Tecnologia did the restoration of one of the oldest historical buildings in Brazil (17 th century). The main office captures the effervescence and inspiration of the time when Recife was the principal metropolis of the Americas.

WE BUILD THE FUTURE BY HONORING THE PAST
In the basement of our office in Recife is an old wall built in the 17 th century to protect the city during the Dutch period (1630 - 1657). The origins of the settlement of Pernambuco date back to 1536 by the Portuguese Duarte Coelho Pereira (14801554). The Captaincy of Pernambuco was a gift from Dom João III, King of Portugal at the time.

SMART O&M
We are pioneers in Wind Energy operation in Brazil. Our pioneer spirit can also be felt in the creation of our original systems.
The actions of our Smart O&M (Operation & Maintenance) Systems results in more availability, quality, reliability and extension of the wind turbine´s lifetime. We are able to reduce maintenance costs and unplanned downtimes with systems developed and used exclusively by Eólica, such as:
. CMS – Condition Monitoring System
. PMS – Performance Monitoring System

INSIDE OUR EXCLUSIVE SMART O&M
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
57
CMS Condition Monitoring System
System for monitoring the condition and operational health of the wind turbine based on the analysis of vibrations of its main components, which makes it possible to identify defects in advance.
Eólica Tecnologia has a Vibration-based Condition Monitoring System (CMS) on all wind turbines. The targets of the system are reduction of maintenance costs, increase of availability, avoidance of unplanned downtimes, improvement of quality & reliability and extend wind turbine’s lifetime.
Futhermore, Eólica Tecnologia has developed its own online system to treat and analyze automatically a large database from specific vibration data for all main components of the wind turbine. It works in three main steps: data acquisition using 8 sensors per turbine, signal processing/analysis with various techniques, and daily tracking/diagnosis. The system is also capable of generating reports and alarms identifying the fault and its location, maximizing reliability of Eólica Tecnologia’s wind farms.

PMS Performance Monitoring System
Performance monitoring system for wind turbines based on operational data (SCADA system) to detect deviations and operating anomalies.
Eólica Tecnologia developed the Performance Monitoring System (PMS) as an effort to optimize the production and reduce O&M costs of its own wind farms. Data from the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system (which records every possible operational characteristic of the wind turbines) is used as input to the performance monitoring solution. The data analysis of our PMS system is able to capture the true state of each wind turbine and detect performance issues, which in turn are readily informed to O&M manager that ensures their correction.
THE SYSTEMS DEVELOPED AND USED EXCLUSIVELY BY EÓLICA ALSO COUNTS WITH:
WIND TURBINE DASHBOARD
