Transforming Wind Operations: My Ørsted Capstone Strategy
A strategic blueprint to help Ørsted optimize operations and scale impact in a world powered by green energy.
“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.”

Project Overview
As part of my graduate capstone at Boston University, I led the design of an AI-driven Enterprise Architecture (EA) for Ørsted, one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies. The strategic roadmap I developed leverages predictive AI, SCADA data, and ERP integration to reduce turbine downtime and boost operational efficiency.
Completed as part of CS 783: Enterprise Architecture at Boston University (Spring 2025)
The Challenge
Ørsted needed to shift from reactive maintenance to proactive, data-driven decision-making. I set out to deliver a system that improves real-time performance visibility, reduces costs, and maximizes output across their global wind portfolio.
The Solution
I proposed an enterprise-wide AI architecture featuring:
• Predictive maintenance modules
• Integrated SCADA and ERP systems (SAP)
• Cloud-based data infrastructure (AWS/Azure)
• Actionable insight dashboards
• A TOGAF-aligned framework for long-term scalability
Projected Results
• 15% reduction in turbine downtime
• 10% increase in energy output
• 20% improvement in maintenance efficiency
Tools & Technologies
Microsoft Visio, Lucidchart, ArchiMate, Python, Tableau, SAP ERP, AWS & Azure, SCADA data
Takeaways
This project combined strategic design with real-world impact in the clean energy sector, deepening my expertise in enterprise architecture, system optimization, and AI implementation — skills I now apply to support innovation in renewable energy.
