When should a wind power system be inspected?Inspections can be carried out at any point during the fabrication, commissioning and operation of the equipment. Typical milestones requiring inspections include: Inspections can cover all components of wind power generation systems including the rotor, nacelle, tower, foundation and electrical system.
What is wind turbine inspection?Wind turbine inspection falls under one of two categories: Inspection in service to ensure continuity of operation. Inspection during the manufacturing stages for wind turbines need to meet the challenges posed by working with such large structures, while still meeting productivity, financial and design requirements.
Do wind turbines need a commissioning inspection?Operation and maintenance of wind turbines is costly. One of the approaches to reduce O&M costs is to carry out a full Commissioning Inspection followed by regular In-Service Inspections to detect failures of critical components as early as possible.
What is Twi doing with wind turbine inspection?TWI has developed technologies as part of collaborative research projects related to wind turbine inspection, including: These are just some examples of our work in this area, while we are also working on other projects in different industries that could find future use in wind turbine inspection.
Who performs a wind energy inspection?All our inspections are carried out by highly qualified inspection engineers with many years of experience in the wind energy sector. They are fully trained on all relevant safety, measurement and operational topics, allowing them to work in a wide range of locations and weather conditions, and with different equipment designs.
