The document discusses Shell WindEnergy's reliability program and data management efforts for its wind energy projects in the United States and Europe. It notes that Shell is involved in 8 wind projects totaling 900 MW in the US and 2 projects totaling 111 MW in Europe. It describes the basics of the reliability program, including maintenance, data collection from various sources, and converting that data into useful information through analytics, user interfaces, and remote support tools. The document outlines how these tools are intended to be used by various roles like site managers, operators, and reliability engineers, but notes that in practice, site managers have challenging schedules that limit their ability to fully utilize the data and tools at their disposal.
