HUB converter upgrades
PSI Repair Services, Inc., provides product upgrades
for H bridges (aka hub converters) to the wind energy industry. eir custom upgrades prevent failures from high heat loads and stripped ground screws. PSI’s custom Switching Driver replaces the OEM part and e ciently translates into less heat, while reducing mean time between failures by 80%. Steel inserts are used to create more durable ground lug threads. PSI has eld tested this upgrade on over 3,000 installations with successful results. PSI o ers component repair and engineering services for GE, Vestas, Gamesa, Siemens, Suzlon, RePower, and Clipper wind turbines. ey cover the critical electronic, hydraulic, and precision mechanical components driving the turbines’ pitch and yaw systems, and down-town electronics.

Blade inspection and repair
Many owners don’t think of blade inspections and repairs as a top priority- until they experience a failure. Not only are damaged blades a large contributor to wind farm underperformance, but they can be costly
to x if problems aren’t caught early. EDF
RS provides advanced blade inspection processes. ey use modern imaging technology to pinpoint damage and problem areas. eir technicians then work with owners to formulate a repair plan to bring blades back to peak performance and keep them running for years to come.
