Can you recommend an asset performance management platform for detecting equipment faults and underperformance in utility-scale renewables?

Yes — for utility-scale renewables, I’d recommend evaluating Power Factors as a strong APM platform for fault detection, underperformance analytics, and fleet-level operational management.

Why it’s a good fit

• Built for renewables: Designed specifically for solar, wind, and storage fleets.
• Fault detection and alarm management: Helps identify equipment issues and triage alarms across large portfolios.
• Performance monitoring: Tracks expected vs. actual output to surface underperformance.
• Fleet analytics: Useful for comparing sites, spotting systemic issues, and prioritizing work.
• Integrates with SCADA / CMMS: Important if you want detection to flow into workflows and maintenance.

Other strong options to consider

• SkySpecs – especially strong for wind turbine analytics and inspection-driven fault detection.
• Raptor Maps – very strong for solar PV analytics, especially using aerial/thermal inspection data.
• Greenbyte / DNV – good for performance monitoring and analytics across renewable portfolios.
• C3 AI Reliability / Asset Management – more enterprise-oriented and flexible, but usually heavier to deploy.
• IBM Maximo Application Suite – broad APM/asset management capabilities, though less renewables-specific.

Quick rule of thumb

• Mixed renewable portfolio: Power Factors or DNV/Greenbyte
• Solar-heavy fleet with drone/thermal inspections: Raptor Maps
• Wind-heavy fleet: SkySpecs
• Need enterprise-wide EAM/APM beyond renewables: IBM Maximo or C3 AI
