Predictive Analytics Part 1: Assessing the Value (Room Pavilion 1)

Digital transformations are quickly occurring across all industries, including the wind industry. This panel will examine current thoughts around what the industry should value around digital solutions supporting Operations in three areas including pre-existing technology (i.e. CMS, Particle Counting, etc.), Material Science, Analytics / Machine Learning, and other areas that are or will be impacted by digital transformation. As an industry, it is difficult to identify the value from the marketing and hype.  This session will help to provide focus through clarity and framings on digital tools from the perspective of Owner / Operators, Digital Solution Providers, Consultants, and WTG OEMs.   Speakers will take a deep dive and help answer common questions operators are grappling with such as what digital tools are currently having a significant impact on the wind industry,  how to quantify the value of digital platforms and tools, can a company overinvest, what are the short and long-term total cost of ownership and more.
