Repowering is more than just an industry trend; it is a foundational strategy for energy maturity.

The landscape of renewable energy is constantly evolving, with wind power standing as a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing nature’s forces. For more than three decades, towering turbines have dotted our horizons, silently converting the invisible currents of the air into clean electricity. These pioneering wind farms, many established in the late 1980s and […]

This study presents a novel method to improve the reliability estimation of wind-turbine gearboxes by using real-time measurements of the operating conditions.

Wind turbine gearbox often fail to reach their expected lifetime of 20 years. This causes great maintenance costs and unexpected downtime. Similarly, gearboxes that do reach their expected lifetime are often replaced while they might be able to stay in operation for longer, missing out on revenue. There is a need for a reliability estimation […]
