Avoid turbine failures and increase power production
Preventing wind turbine failures and understanding the health state of core wind turbine parts are essential commercial drivers when managing a wind farm.
TCM® is a best-in-class, secure hardware and software solution that uses advanced vibration monitoring to detect emerging faults and damage in critical wind turbine components.
By enabling a predictive maintenance strategy, TCM® supports better operational decisions–helping reduce turbine downtime, increase power production, and providing site managers and maintenance teams greater peace of mind.
Turbine Condition Monitoring solutions
TCM® enables you to detect emerging faults, anticipate spare part requirements, and precisely schedule maintenance, minimising downtime to the bare minimum.
Accurately predict failures and reduce maintenance costs
Our high-quality vibration sensors are designed to measure every vibration with high precision, whether vibrations occur in the main bearing, gearbox and generator or undesired tower sway, rotor imbalance or tail wag.
1Accelerometers (A)
Mounted in the most important locations of the drive train, the accelerometers accurately monitor low frequency vibrations
M-Sensors
The M-Sensors consists of two axial DC-coupled accelerometers, which monitor the tower sway and rotor imbalance.
M-System
The M-system unit is placed inside the nacelle of the wind turbine. It collects data from all connected sensors simultaneously, processes information and transfers the data and alarms to your TCM® solution in the cloud.
Data collection
TCM® collects data from other components, including RPM, Active Power and much more, providing you with the comprehensive view of your wind turbine's health.

Case story:
Suomen Hyötytuuli optimises operations
The Finnish renewable energy production company, Suomen Hyötytuuli, faced challenges with wind turbines equipped with different Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS). This resulted in data from multiple CMS sources without a centralised platform to consolidate and analyse the overwhelming amount of information.
By connecting various CMS data sources to TCM®, the company established a unified platform for managing all wind turbine condition monitoring data.
This integration provided comprehensive control over data and streamlined operations, making wind farm monitoring and maintenance more effective.
Expert monitoring for optimal performance
Our TCM® Monitoring service detects early damages and failures, enabling predictive maintenance and helping you optimise O&M planning and spare parts sourcing, ultimately reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Receive expert data analysis & insights
With TCM® Monitoring, our expert vibration data specialists provide premium insights that pinpoint the exact component issues, eliminating your need for in-house monitoring expertise.
Our team accurately identifies component issues and the health status of your wind turbine fleet through our proven condition-based monitoring methodology, ensuring you avoid unnecessary maintenance visits and giving you peace of mind.
