Asset Monitor – the leveraged asset intelligence platform
With the Asset Monitor service, Vu Phong Energy Group and STEAG provide real-time wind turbine monitoring data for each turbine and the entire wind farm. This data is meticulously selected, analyzed, and calculated based on high-standard Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), utilizing intelligent software systems that leverage AI, Big Data, and Machine Learning algorithms. This empowers investors to assess the “health condition” and performance of each turbine. Should abnormalities or potential risks be detected, the system issues immediate notifications. Compared to standard SCADA warnings, these signals typically arrive sooner (often 1-2 months in advance), enabling investors to proactively plan optimal inspection and handling strategies. The data simultaneously offers an independent, reliable, and transparent information base for investors to engage with their Operation and Maintenance (O&M) units, typically Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
Furthermore, to accurately interpret this data, an engineer must possess specialized knowledge. Subsequently, a professional process for checking, processing, and evaluating this information is essential to deliver tangible efficiency improvements for the plant.
Vu Phong – STEAG utilizes an intelligent software system that provides calculated data based on high-standard KPIs, leveraging AI, Big Data, and Machine Learning algorithms.
Asset Guide – The guide based on intelligent asset assessment
Under the Asset Guide solution package, experienced and professional engineers from Vu Phong Energy Group and STEAG utilize the real-time data provided by Asset Monitor. They offer guidance and advice on establishing an intelligent maintenance plan for the project, enabling timely optimization of predictive and preventive measures. This goes beyond the scheduled maintenance items or reactive troubleshooting typically handled by OEM units. Simultaneously, they provide value-oriented performance improvement measures to ensure optimal wind turbine optimization and minimize downtime.
Additionally, these engineers realistically evaluate the turbine power curve and conduct root cause analysis (RCA) to suggest necessary improvements. Vu Phong – STEAG engineers also furnish investors with monthly, quarterly, and special reports in the event of system issues or potential risks, ensuring comprehensive oversight.
Smart software aids in the detection and warning of problems beyond the SCADA system, facilitating intelligent maintenance planning and timely optimization of preventive measures.
Asset Pilot – Implement recommendations from Asset Guide
This represents the most comprehensive wind farm asset management package. Vu Phong Energy Group and STEAG will fully represent the investor in collaborating with the OEM to implement the suggestions from Asset Guide. This includes optimizing smart maintenance through efficient management of accessories, workforce, deployment strategies, performance-based actions, and thorough root cause analysis (RCA). Such an integrated approach helps to optimize wind farm production capabilities, delivering maximum economic returns to the investor.

Furthermore, Vu Phong Energy Group and STEAG will discuss and negotiate with the OEM on the investor’s behalf, meticulously assessing the effectiveness of related contracts throughout the engagement. Should the investor choose to renew their contract with the OEM, Vu Phong Energy Group and STEAG, acting as the Owner’s Engineering, can facilitate contract negotiations and assist in securing favorable terms for the investor.
The efficacy of these Asset Management service packages is precisely measured and evaluated against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) committed to the investor.
To provide investors with a clear overview of the Asset Management packages, and particularly to demonstrate the effectiveness of the smart software and the Remote Monitoring Center (RMC), Vu Phong Energy Group and STEAG can conduct an analysis of historical data from an operational wind farm for verification with the owner before commencing real-time data monitoring. For new wind farms preparing for commissioning, with no previous data, Vu Phong Energy Group and STEAG will initiate data collection and analysis from the Commercial Operation Date (COD) onwards.
Individuals and businesses interested in wind farm asset management solutions are encouraged to contact Our Call Center at 18007171 or +84 9 1800 7171, or send an email to hello@vuphong.com for further information.
