RPAS inspection and condition analytics for power generation assets in Argentina.
South Pacific Wind combines autonomous RPAS image capture, AI-assisted damage analysis and an inspection data management platform. The result is a complete view of fleet condition, decision-ready reports and a record that stays comparable campaign after campaign.
Five concrete outcomes from every inspection campaign, from the first turbine to fleet-wide comparison over the years.
High-resolution images covering 100 % of the surface, referenced by component, zone and side. Every finding is documented, measured and classified.
Each component builds its own file over the life of the asset. The information is not lost when contractors change or years go by.
The evolution of each damage between campaigns, recurring patterns by model, by position in the site and by turbine. Objective comparison, based on measured records.
Repair scope defined on the basis of severity and progression. Interventions planned within the right maintenance window.
Timely intervention before a minor damage becomes a major repair, and detection of aerodynamic losses that affect annual energy production.
† Reference time with the turbine operational, surface wind up to ~6 m/s and no precipitation. Campaign planning accounts for the site's weather windows; in Patagonia that planning is a central part of the service.
Illustrative diagram: annotation of a leading-edge finding, with radial position, dimension and severity classification.
The RPAS follows predefined flight routes around each component and captures high-resolution images with position metadata. The same route is repeated in every campaign, which makes results comparable.
After each turbine, images and metadata are securely uploaded to the platform, ready for analysis. The operator can verify capture quality on site.
Image analysis algorithms identify and delimit damages; every annotation is reviewed, corrected and approved by specialists in a browser-based interface. No report leaves without human review.
Every component of every asset in one place. Filters by damage type, severity, component and asset reveal patterns a single inspection cannot.
Each finding is linked to its equivalent in previous campaigns. Damage progression supports a well-founded decision on when to repair and when to wait.
Per-turbine and per-farm reports generated from the platform, with prioritised repair recommendations. Campaign planning and follow-up from start to finish.
High-resolution visual inspection identifies and tracks over time the damage types that define asset maintenance.
From a single campaign to continuous fleet monitoring, the scope adapts to the asset and to the stage of life of the wind farm.
Planning, coordination with the operator, field capture, analysis and reporting per turbine and per wind farm.
Capture and annotation, plus O&M team access to the platform to consult images, findings and fleet filters.
Periodic campaigns with damage progression analytics, fleet reports and updated repair recommendations.
Maintenance planning based on the real condition of the assets, repair prioritisation and fleet traceability over the years.
Systematic inspections within service contracts, end-of-warranty documentation and transparency towards the end customer.
Precise prior diagnosis to scope the work, and documented verification of the repair once completed.
Independent assessment of asset condition in transactions, financing and claims.
South Pacific Wind grows out of years of work at height and RPAS inspection of wind turbines for New Zealand's leading generators, under the rules of that country's civil aviation authority. That experience now operates from Villa La Angostura, Neuquén, within operating distance of Argentina's main wind farms.
A defined method. Predefined flight routes, documented safety procedures and human review of every report. The same way of working at every wind farm.
Inspection technology. Swiss-developed inspection platform: autonomous capture, image analysis and blade data management used by operators and OEMs across Europe, the Americas and Oceania.
A trial inspection on one turbine lets you assess capture quality, the annotation process and the resulting report before planning a campaign.
