Why Energy Organisations Choose ABI
Energy infrastructure depends on electronic control, power-conversion and monitoring systems that often outlive OEM support. BoardMaster provides Power ON and Power OFF diagnostics at PCB and component level, while RevEng recovers missing circuit connectivity and supports schematic generation. Together with TestFlow and structured training, they help energy organisations reduce external repair dependency, retain technical knowledge and extend the supportable life of critical assets.
” ABI’s BoardMaster and RevEng helped our electronics remanufacturing site recover US$20 million in four years through the repair and reuse of wind energy components.“
Héctor J Obregón, Wind Lead Engineer at GE Vernova.

Energy Electronics FAQs
Common questions about using ABI equipment to diagnose faults, support PCB repair and manage obsolete wind, solar, storage and grid electronics in-house.
What types of energy electronics can BoardMaster test?
BoardMaster supports component-level diagnosis of wind turbine control boards, solar inverter PCBs, battery-management electronics, grid-monitoring and SCADA boards, protection relays, switchgear controls, UPS systems, converters and chargers. The appropriate test methods depend on the board design, condition and application.
Can ABI equipment support wind turbine and solar inverter PCB repair when OEM documentation is unavailable?
Yes, in many cases. BoardMaster provides Power ON and Power OFF methods for testing components and circuits when original schematics are unavailable. RevEng can learn circuit connectivity from an unpowered working board and generate a netlist for conversion into professional CAD schematics. Trained technicians use this information to complete and validate the repair.
Which energy companies use ABI equipment?
Named customers include Siemens Gamesa, Boralex, GE Vernova, Eletrobras, EDF, and SK Energy.
What is the difference between BoardMaster and RevEng for energy maintenance?
BoardMaster is used to diagnose electronic faults at PCB and component level. RevEng is used to recover circuit connectivity and support schematic creation when original documentation is missing. Together, they provide complementary capabilities for fault diagnosis, reverse engineering and long-term support of energy electronics.
How does in-house repair reduce downtime on remote energy assets?
In-house capability allows maintenance teams to investigate failed PCBs without immediately shipping them to an external repair provider or waiting for replacement assemblies. Local diagnosis, component-level repair and reusable TestFlow procedures can reduce turnaround times, unnecessary callouts and dependence on scarce replacement boards.
