More production and revenue, less risk: A suite of digital wind power tools
Our customers determine our success, and PowerUp—a comprehensive digital analytics suite of hardware and software solutions for your wind farms and turbines--enables us to align directly to customer outcomes, delivering reliable performance gains through wind turbine and farm analytics over the lifetime of your fleet.
Wind PowerUp Analytics Services
The combination of a results-based, customized analytics platform and aerodynamic efficiency improvements and controls for variable speed efficiency, GE’s PowerUp wind energy optimization services can increase the annual energy production (AEP) of your wind farm by up to 8%.
Technical Differentiation
When the PowerUp platform is activated for your fleet, GE’s wind turbine analytics software performs a complete historical analysis of each asset’s configuration, performance, and operational history along with the environmental conditions of the site. After establishing a baseline for each turbine, GE’s wind energy performance software will determine the potential increase in annual energy production using lifecycle data analytics on a model of your asset and site. With your turbines connected to the industrial Internet, you can achieve real-time optimizations of wind farm production levels based on turbine-specific environmental, operational, and economic conditions.
Commercial Innovation
The PowerUp wind analytics platform is a lifecycle asset performance offering available for new or existing Flexible Service Agreements that continues to increase a wind farm’s AEP as new GE technologies are introduced. PowerUp is a flexible, analytics-focused outcome-based, commercial offering that allows wind farm operators to pay only for validated performance improvements.
Other digital analytics wind power tools include Digital Plan of the Day, Wind Asset Performance Management, Fleet-X, eSCADA and Cybersecurity. Learn more by looking at our digital solutions for wind assets.

Customer success stories
E.ON AND GE: A PowerUp success story
E.ON Climate and Renewables (EC&R) North America partnered with GE to PowerUp their fleet and, after one year, is seeing a tremendous growth in output. GE upgraded 469 of E.ON’s 1.5-77 wind turbines with the digital analytics of PowerUp, and in the first year alone, E.ON achieved an increase of 4% AEP. That’s the equivalent of adding 10 more turbines to their fleet.
GE and Bhoruka: Long-term partners for long-term production
GE saw an opportunity to help Bhoruka Power Corporation capture more value and gain more Annual Energy Production (AEP) from its wind farm in Yelisirur, India through digital wind power optimizations. After implementation of the PowerUp service suite of digital wind tools and analytics, Bhoruka realized an AEP gain of 4.8%. They also gained a lifelong service partner: Delivered via a unique commercial model, PowerUp wind farm analytics involves a minimal upfront investment from the customer while implementing the solution, then relies on a revenue sharing model for validated AEP gains. This approach minimizes stress on Bhoruka’s OpEx plan for this wind farm and ensures that GE remains invested in the long-term sustainability of this solution.
