About Visualwind
Specialist software, monitoring equipment and consulting services for the renewables industry.
Improving renewables through data
Extensive deployment of renewable energy faces the dual challenges of political instability and technological inertia across the energy supply chain. Visualwind is committed to helping the renewable energy
Committed to cost reduction
Visualwind’s cost effective data capture products and asset supervision software are helping increase operational efficiency and driving down the operational cost of renewables.
Excited about innovation
Renewable energy sites have relied on monitoring solutions borrowed from other industries. Visualwind have innovated to develop products that are tailored for renewable energy applications. Our monitoring products have been deployed on wind sites across the UK and Europe.
WindSync is designed to enable seamless integration between the different parties involved in operational wind, whether it's condition monitoring, planning, asset management or maintenance, WindSync gives greater operational visibility.
Products and services
WindSync™ asset supervision software
Our asset supervision software provides 24/7 portfolio visibility and equips operators for the task of increasing operational efficiency and driving down the operational cost of wind energy.
Instant portfolio visibility
WindSync connects an entire fleet of operational assets to a single interface, putting an end to multiple SCADA systems connections and enabling standardised KPI benchmarking between sites, manufacturers and individual turbines.
Using OPC and IEC 61400 protocols, WindSync streams live data from remote assets so that operators can see what is happening across their portfolio from anywhere. Optimisation of data output enables real time data even where communications are limited to GSM.
24/7 real time data

Fault reporting and predictive maintenance
Statistical and trend-based alarms plus integrity tools such as heat maps provide early warning of potential issues to site operators. In addition to SCADA data, data from Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS) and Lidar such as RomoWind and ZephIR can be streamed into WindSync.
Why use WindSync for your portfolio management?

Key principles
Robust collection
Maintaining data integrity is critical for energy operators. Combining accurate sensing equipment, optimised power components and robust communications equipment enables success in the field.
Cloud storage and access
A modern renewable energy portfolio generates significant volumes of operational and environmental data. Effective decision making for asset optimisation requires the renewables industry to take advantage of modern scalable data warehousing technology and virtualisation.
Intelligent output
Success in energy plant operation requires instant portfolio visibility with standardised KPIs, as well as the ability to quickly drill down into individual sites for detailed analysis.
WindComply™ asset supervision software
Demonstrating compliance with environmental management plans and planning conditions is a high priority for renewable energy operators. But it can be a lengthy and expensive task, requiring data across a spread of wind speeds and operating conditions. WindComply products are specifically designed for low cost, long-term environmental compliance monitoring.
Shadow flicker monitoring
The WindComply Flicker Module is the only monitoring device for shadow flicker compliance monitoring on the market. The module has been deployed across Europe to investigate and resolve complaints and to demonstrate compliance.
The monitoring unit is engineered to remain in situ for a full season of shadow flicker monitoring, capturing even the faintest of shadow flicker events. The optimised power system allows long term independent operation. Real-time data and video files are streamed to a secure server which is accessed through a web log in.
Noise monitoring
Noise monitoring campaigns are becoming longer and more complex as cumulative impact and amplitude modulation assessment are becoming standard practice. The WindComply Noise Module has been developed in partnership with acoustic specialists TNEI to provide long term, accurate, high resolution data for pre-planning baseline monitoring and post operational compliance assessment.
The device uses Class I sound level meters such as the Rion NL-52 to record and store high resolution sound pressure level data in accordance with best practice methodology for amplitude modulation. Audio files are also captured using MEMS microphone technology. The optimised power system allows long term independent operation. Real-time data and audio files are streamed to a secure server which is accessed through a web log in.
Control and Instrumentation consulting
Providing control and instrumentation consulting services to energy operators and asset managers.
Systems integration
Our engineers support renewable energy operators with systems integration across a range of projects. Specialisms include met mast commissioning, SCADA integration, PLC programming and communications solutions.
Database and software consulting
Modern renewable energy assets generating significant volumes of data. High resolution data from SCADA, CMS systems and LIDARs can pose a challenge for operators and asset managers. Visualwind provide consulting services to a variety of client types with system architecture integration and optimisation, virtualisation and data warehousing.
