WEG, One of the World’s Largest Electric Motor Manufacturers, Invests in Artificial Intelligence for Predictive Maintenance in Wind Turbines

WEG Seeks Daily to Meet the Market for Equipment That Is Becoming Increasingly Technological. In Addition to Wind Turbines, Recently, the Company Supplied Transformers to the Giant Eletrolux and to a Steel Company in Maranhão

WEG, one of the largest manufacturers of electric motors in the world, with a broad portfolio for renewable energy generation, has been looking to innovate and provide increasingly technological equipment to the market. For the wind turbine (wind generator) segment, the company has invested in artificial intelligence to plan predictive maintenance for the equipment. The solution works through cloud computing and is based on remotely collected data.

The application combines the WEGnology® platform and the artificial intelligence of BirminD, a company from the WEG Group. The artificial intelligence receives various data from the wind turbines (wind generators) in real-time, processes this information using BirminD’s automated machine learning solution, which tests dozens of algorithms automatically searching for the best performance, providing as a result the prediction (future state) of variables of interest for the team monitoring the equipment.

In summary, the product communicates in real-time with the wind turbines (wind generators) and anticipates potential maintenance needs, triggering early diagnostic and corrective action demands, avoiding losses in generator availability. Using data associated with the solution developed by WEG, it is possible to anticipate situations that influence the availability of the equipment, which can reflect in generation gains.

The solution is at an advanced stage of validation before being made available to the wind turbine (wind generator) market. It can also be applied in other segments such as: predicting overheating in inverters, efficiency of furnaces, cycle time of extruders, energy consumption, production demand, and many other applications.

Supplying Dry Transformers Will Allow Electrolux to Expand Its Energy Capacity

Electrolux do Brasil S.A, a company in the household appliances segment, aims to expand its energy capacity for new technologies being implemented at the facility. To ensure that this occurs safely and effectively, ensuring competitiveness in the manufacturing process, the client purchased two dry transformers at 34.5/11.9kV with a power of 15MVA. Both pieces will be delivered during June 2021, at the São Carlos (SP) unit.

These equipment will supply loads connected to more than ten transformers at the voltage class of 11.9kV distributed throughout the Electrolux plant. The differential of these large dry transformers is the IP-54 cabinet configuration, resistant to outdoor use, in addition to providing low installation costs and ease of maintenance.

Consequently, this improvement will bring benefits such as reliability in the manufacturing process and savings in energy costs. The consistency of quality in energy distribution will prevent voltage spikes originating from the 11.9kV supply directly from the local grid, complying with the ANEEL requirements for customers with demands exceeding 5MW.

WEG Supplies Transformer to Serve as Power Supply for Cauldron Furnace in Steel Company

A steel company entrusted WEG with the challenge of implementing an improvement aimed at increasing electrical power and consequently enhancing production capacity. For this project to be realized, it was necessary to maintain the existing space while increasing the nominal power due to the limited size of the room where the transformer will be installed. Originating from Santa Catarina, the 14.4MVA transformer, with a nominal current of 26kA at 13.8kV, will be transported to Maranhão, with an expected arrival in June 2021.

The equipment will be essential for the client in powering the cauldron furnace, replacing the existing transformer with a nominal power of 8.4MVA and a nominal current of 19kA, now increased to 14.4MVA and a current of 26kA. This change ensures greater production capacity, resulting in increased competitiveness for the client.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.

Tire road? Thousands of shredded tires were secretly placed under a ramp in California, preventing a one-year delay in a project on weak soil and supporting a 26-foot-high structure in a corridor connected to I-880.

Explorers find Roman treasure trapped between rocks on the seabed for nearly 1,600 years and reveal a desperate attempt to hide 53 gold coins during the invasions of the Empire.

While Russia dominates the global wheat market, Brazil emerges as an unexpected competitor in the Cerrado, offering grain available in July and August when stocks in the Northern Hemisphere are at their lowest point of the year.

Archaeologists discover Roman vase buried for over 2,000 years with more than 175 intact gold and silver coins, revealing a desperate strategy to protect wealth during the collapse of the Empire.

The government puts R$ 8.6 billion on the table to change the highway (BR) with 50 overpasses, 28 bridges, 4 tunnels, and 40 km of bike lanes in 180 km of historic duplication.

With 241 meters, 48 thousand tons, and a structure designed to accompany aircraft carriers at sea, the Chinese ship that refuels fleets in motion was born to push Beijing away from the coast and has become the hidden gear of its naval projection.

Tire road? Thousands of shredded tires were secretly placed under a ramp in California, preventing a one-year delay in a project on weak soil and supporting a 26-foot-high structure in a corridor connected to I-880.

‘Interlocking brick’ made of earth arrives in the construction industry with cost reductions of up to 40% on the project.

Espírito Santo will receive the largest engineering project in its history with the duplication of BR 262, which will have 50 viaducts, 28 bridges, and 2-kilometer tunnels cutting through the most challenging mountainous region of the entire state.
