EDF Renewables has partnered with ONYX Insight to unify condition monitoring across its global wind turbine fleet using the fleetMONITOR platform. The move is aimed at improving drivetrain health assessments, enhancing predictive maintenance, and boosting operational efficiency across 5 gigawatts (GW) of wind assets.
With more than 14.2 GW of renewable energy projects under management worldwide, EDF Renewables has been managing a variety of Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS) from different providers. The lack of a unified platform created inefficiencies and increased the risk of missed fault detections.
The company chose fleetMONITOR, ONYX Insight’s hardware-agnostic analytics platform, to bring all CMS data into one system. This includes integration with third-party hardware as well as ONYX’s own ecoCMS and ecoCMS Flex systems.
The platform is now being used by EDF Renewables’ engineers at its e-Diagnostic Centres in Colombiers and Montpellier, France. Built on over a decade of failure data, fleetMONITOR enables faster fault detection, more effective maintenance strategies, and improved turbine performance.
After launching a pilot project in 2022, EDF Renewables scaled up the collaboration following a successful technical evaluation. ONYX Insight supported the rollout with training and onboarding to ensure a smooth transition.
By the end of 2025, EDF Renewables plans to monitor more than 5 GW of assets using fleetMONITOR, marking a significant step toward smarter, data-driven wind operations.
“Our collaboration with EDF Renewables highlights the scalability and flexibility of fleetMONITOR,” said Sven Thiesen, Director of Sales & Engineering – Europe at ONYX Insight. “By equipping EDF’s team with the right tools and training, we’ve enabled the eDC to unlock the full potential of their wind energy assets.”
