Performance and Lifetime Extension

Performance and Lifetime Extension

Studies for improving the power generation of wind farms:

Increased generation efficiency depends exclusively on blade design; for this the wind turbine model is created in software to improve efficiency and estimate costs of implementing add-ons, the values found are applied to the airflow around the rotor in 3D modeling.

 

Operations Analysis

  • Analysis of the machine’s power curve;
  • Control adjustments and sensor calibration;
  • Big data.

 

Possible Solutions

Customized solutions for improving energy production from wind farms:

  • Winglet;
  • Vortex Generator (VG);
  • TE Serration; (LNTE – Low Noise Trailing Edge)
  • LE protection (LEP);
  • Tip extension;
  • New Blade replacement;
  • Fire protection;
  • De-Icing.

 

Root Cause Analysis

By using an engineering team with expertise in products and manufacturing processes, it’s possible to identify the root cause and mitigate or even prevent new failures.

  • Design and project analysis;
  • FEA analysis;
  • Material fatigue assessment;
  • Quality problems.

 

Analysis of Structural Reinforcements

Structural reinforcements can be designed to solve operational limitations or quality problems.

  • Structural Reinforcement Sizing;
  • FEA analysis;
  • High resistance materials;
  • Blade Support Testing.
