Schneider Electric’s MxVision WeatherSentry Wind Energy Edition helps wind power professionals stay on top of changing weather conditions, which can endanger employees and impact operations. Lightning is one of the biggest concerns for wind farm operations, putting employees and turbines at risk. Lightning Manager delivers real-time strike information for the United States and Canada, and not just predictions, monitoring strikes as they approach based on custom advisory and warning zones. Audio and visual alerts warn about lightning strikes within these zones, and all-clear notifications let users know when the danger has passed. The software is also available to mobile users with location-based weather and lightning alerts, helping crews stay on top of changing conditions in the field.
