Repair and maintenance of wind turbines

Maintenance of wind turbines

It's no secret that the wind turbine, as well as any equipment that needs maintenance. It is less whimsical than the car does not require oil changes, air filters and gaskets, but still we highly recommend passing the annual inspection. What is it?

Firstly it is checking the integrity and efficiency of all components and mechanisms. It is necessary to check whether the cable is not spun in the mast, and if there is a current collector – condition of its brushes, which are consumable and require regular replacement. If it is possible check the blade for cracks and chips. This is especially true after a severe storm and after the winter if there was an ice on the blades.

To check the wind-head for rust and other defects. If it is necessary tight up the screws on the hub and flange.

If you use a guyed mast - check and tighten the ropes. Diagnose the security and efficiency of active protection against hurricane, emergency stop operation.

If the wind turbine is equipped with an electronic system for wind orientation - to check its functioning, as well as the state of the anemometer and anemoscope. If necessary to upgrade the controller software.

And the most important thing - diagnostics of the battery. This is the most important for systems rated at more than 5 kW, which uses a large amount of battery. After all, if one battery fails, soon it will pull the rest ones.

As noted above, inspection is recommended once a year.
