Standing Strong During Storm Éowyn | Case Study

~200 km/h

Peak wind gusts recorded during Storm Éowyn

10+ YEARS

The UK's most powerful windstorm in over a decade

ZERO

Interruptions to Windrover's monitoring

“How much wind can the new Windrover version withstand?”
Storm Éowyn already gave us an answer.

CHALLENGE & SOLUTION

THE CHALLENGE

Offshore turbines already operate in some of the harshest conditions on Earth — but a named storm pushes every system to its absolute limit. It's exactly when monitoring equipment tends to fail, right when it's needed most.

THE SOLUTION

In January 2025, Storm Éowyn tore through the UK and Ireland with gusts nearing 200 km/h. A Windrover unit installed on an offshore turbine in Fife, Scotland, kept sensing, recording, and transmitting through the entire event.

THE RESULT

✓ Continuous operation through the UK's most powerful windstorm
✓ Real-time structural insight throughout the storm
✓ Zero data interruption during peak gusts
✓ No manual reset or intervention needed once it passed

WEATHERING ÉOWYN

Named the fifth storm of the 2024–25 season, Éowyn brought the UK's most powerful winds in over a decade. Windrover stood strong through it all.

WHY WINDROVER IS DIFFERENT

Icing Detection

Identifies icing conditions as they form.

Lightning Sensing

Detects lightning impacts in real time.

Damage Typing

Identifies the type of damage sustained.

Severity Estimation

Estimates how severe detected damage is.

Correlated Signals

Links acoustic + vibration data to operational state.

One Integrated Unit

All of the above in a single compact device.

No fragmented systems. No delayed insights. Just continuous, intelligent awareness of turbine health — built to keep working when the storm hits hardest.

200 km/h winds. Zero downtime.

Windrover kept sensing. Windrover kept transmitting.

Windrover kept protecting offshore wind — through the worst storm in a decade.
