Asst. Manager

Wind Turbine Performance Analysis

Job Description

Wind Turbine Performance Analysis will be responsible for centralized monitoring, performance evaluation, and operational analysis of wind power plants across the portfolio. The role focuses on real-time turbine monitoring, SCADA analytics, generation loss analysis, fault diagnostics, KPI tracking, and coordination with O&M, Asset Management, and OEM teams to maximize turbine availability, reliability, and energy generation.

Key Responsibilities

Wind Turbine Monitoring & Performance Analysis

• Monitor wind turbine generation, availability, capacity factor, and operational performance through SCADA and monitoring platforms.
• Perform detailed generation loss analysis including grid outages, turbine downtime, yaw misalignment, pitch system issues, curtailment, high wind cut-out, low wind conditions, and OEM-related losses.
• Analyze wind speed, wind direction, air density, turbulence intensity, and meteorological mast/LiDAR data to evaluate turbine performance against power curves.
• Conduct turbine-wise and wind farm-wise benchmarking to identify underperforming assets.
• Monitor gearbox, generator, converter, hydraulic, pitch, yaw, transformer, and blade health indicators for degradation trends.
• Track KPIs including Availability, Technical Availability, PLF, Capacity Factor, Energy Yield, Specific Generation, and MTBF/MTTR.
• Validate SCADA, turbine controller, and meter data; identify communication failures and data gaps.
• Monitor contractual KPIs, OEM guarantees, and SLA compliance.
• Support performance improvement initiatives through optimization of turbine settings and operational strategies.
• Prepare performance deviation reports with root cause analysis and corrective action recommendations.
• Conduct predictive performance analysis using historical trends, alarms, vibration, temperature, and condition monitoring data.
• Coordinate with O&M, Asset Management, and OEM teams for timely resolution of performance issues.
• Evaluate effectiveness of preventive and corrective maintenance through post-maintenance performance analysis.
  
  

Troubleshooting & Incident Management

• Provide first-level technical support for wind turbine operational issues.
• Coordinate with site O&M teams and OEMs for fault diagnosis and resolution.
• Monitor turbine alarms, breakdowns, grid disturbances, and critical operational events.
• Track incident closure, root cause analysis (RCA), and implementation of corrective actions.
  
  

Reporting & Coordination

• Prepare Daily Generation Reports (DGR), Monthly Performance Reports, MIS dashboards, and fleet performance summaries.
• Coordinate with O&M, Asset Management, OEMs, Grid Operations, and Engineering teams.
• Present fleet performance trends, reliability analysis, and operational insights to management.
• Conduct daily, weekly, and monthly performance review meetings.
  
  

Team Management

• Supervise performance analysts and NOC engineers.
• Ensure adherence to monitoring procedures, escalation matrix, and reporting standards.
• Develop team capability in SCADA analytics, turbine diagnostics, KPI reporting, and data-driven decision making.
• Coordinate with cross-functional departments for operational excellence and continuous improvement.
  
  

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering
• 6–8 years of experience in Wind Farm Operations, Performance Monitoring, or Performance Analytics.
• Experience with utility-scale wind projects preferred.
• Knowledge of SCADA, CMS (Condition Monitoring System), and OEM turbine platforms.
  
  

Required Skills

• Wind turbine performance analysis and power curve assessment.
• SCADA, CMS, and monitoring platforms.
• Fault diagnostics and reliability analysis.
• Advanced Excel, Power BI, and data analytics.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
• Technical reporting and performance improvement planning.
