The latest wind turbine generator testing standards

Article Details Articleid=252490 | Operations Engineer

The latest wind turbine generators (WTGs) are colossal. The offshore Vestas V236 has a rotor diameter of 236m and the nacelle housing the hub is at least 150m above the sea. Access is needed for inspection and maintenance, so service lifts are fitted inside the mast; few technicians could undertake a boat transfer then climb a 1,000-step staircase, and
