Your turbines are powerful generators — and giant lightning rods. Minimize generator damage, protect revenues, and keep your crews safe with the industry’s best lightning detection. MxVision WeatherSentry® Wind Energy Edition is proven to help improve decisions on site or remotely with:

  • Real-time lightning strikes displayed on a new, high-resolution mapping interface — with the ability to zoom into a turbine-level view, helping you safely evacuate site crews
  • New! GPS-based roaming weather and lightning alerts for your current position — automatically pushed to your Apple® iPhone® or Android®,  updated automatically wherever you go
  • New! The ability to track and display the location of your crews on your weather map based on their Apple iPhones' or Androids' GPSs
  • New! Animated mobile weather maps for MxVision WeatherSentry Mobile® users with lightning strikes, radar, pan and zoom capabilities, and more for a complete weather picture on the go
  • New! A third lightning range ring provides a caution zone for a three-step response to lightning dangers
  • Storm tracking that pinpoints severe weather for the next 30 minutes, and when it will reach locations in its path
  • Archived lightning data for post-storm reporting, analysis and insurance purposes
  • TurbineCast™ service for 80-meter hub height wind forecasts

Our patented*, configurable alerting technology makes us the only weather information provider that targets your location, and the conditions and parameters of greatest concern to you:

  • Set the radius of real-time alerts for lightning, ice or other severe weather
  • Early-warning and all-clear notifications that support crew safety — including a countdown feature that lets you know how long before lightning threats will pass
  • Alerts by cell phone or e-mail to keep crews in the field on top of changing weather conditions

Still have questions? Telvent’s experienced meteorological professionals can answer specific weather inquiries online and via mobile device giving you greater confidence in your decisions.

“The system alerts us by sounding a siren. This lets us know we need to either monitor weather conditions more closely or evacuate crews."

— Bill Campbell, plant leader, Langdon Wind Energy Center
