We are proud to announce that a collaborative paper developed by UNDERPIN project partners was presented at the prestigious 15th Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM 2025), held from 2–5 June in Bruges, Belgium.
The paper, titled “Proactive Fault Detection in Wind Turbine Generators using SCADA Measurements,” highlights a major stride in the application of data-driven predictive maintenance strategies for the renewable energy sector. The research was co-authored by experts from AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, SPACE HELLAS, Motor Oil Renewable Energy (MORE), and Motor Oil Hellas, representing a strong cross-sectoral collaboration within the UNDERPIN consortium.
Drawing from six years of SCADA data (2019–2024) collected from a Greek wind farm consisting of ten wind turbine generators, the paper presents a novel framework for early fault detection in generator bearings. By integrating historical and real-time sensor data with machine learning models, the team demonstrates how predictive analytics can identify anomalies before failures occur – minimizing costly downtime, enhancing equipment reliability, and optimizing maintenance planning.
This work directly supports the UNDERPIN project’s mission: to build a secure, scalable and interoperable Data Space for the manufacturing industry, with pilot use-cases in refineries and wind farms. The presented research showcases how the UNDERPIN Data Space can empower predictive maintenance through secure, high-quality data sharing and advanced analytics.
This paper is a testament to the value of collaborative research within EU projects like UNDERPIN, where the integration of diverse expertise and real-world data leads to tangible results that benefit entire industries.
As the project advances, UNDERPIN continues to strengthen its position as a key contributor to Europe’s digital and green transition – offering a trustworthy platform for cross-organizational data collaboration and AI-driven operational excellence.
Stay tuned as we share more project insights, use-case demonstrations, and technical developments in our upcoming events and publications.
