The Kincardine floating wind farm, located off the east coast of Scotland, was a landmark development: the first commercial-scale project of its kind in the UK sector. Therefore, it has been closely watched by the industry throughout its installation....
An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is a means of transferring power between a primary electrical power source and an alternative source (such as a generator) in the event of power failure. Automatic Transfer Switches are critical for the smooth, cons....
Pressing real-world issues are faced by wind turbine operators. Among them, the integrity of wind turbine bolted connections at the blade bearing stands out as a critical concern. The role of condition monitoring systems for blade bearings (CMBB) eme....
The implementation of a Condition Monitoring System (CMS) to measure wind turbine health is no longer an optional extra. In many cases, particularly the offshore sector, CMS with Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is mandatory—and the benefits are ....
Drones are becoming more popular than ever for examining infrastructure of all kinds, and can be extremely useful in monitoring hard-to-reach infrastructure. Remote controlled or autonomous drones equipped with cameras and sensors can help ....
Used wind turbine filters hold a wealth of information that just may end up saving individual components, or even the entire turbine. All too often, the filter is discarded during maintenance and never examined. This means some very critical informat....
