Versify’s NERC Wind GADS management software is integrated with the Versify Generation Outage Management Enterprise System and automates the NERC Wind GADS reporting process to insure data accuracy and consistency with reported outages. To meet the GADS-W reporting instructions, Wind Generation Owners may require an automated tool to manage the data volumes and complexity.
The reporting requirements specified by NERC Wind GADS require detailed operational data for each turbine in a generator’s portfolio. NERC Wind GADS reporting is much more data intensive than traditional fossil plant reporting that has been required by NERC for many years. For example, a 200 MW wind site may have data for as many as 200 turbines that must be reported.
Versify’s NERC Wind GADS software can be configured to automatically identify turbine fault codes from various turbine manufacturers and assign them to the NERC Wind GADS system and component codes. The module generates the required NERC GADS files based on the automated events captured along with key performance indicators. These KPI’s provide visibility into the wind fleet, wind farm, and turbine performance and reliability.
