WHAT will WTIS do for you?
WTIS have a comprehensive arsenal of sophisticated equipment to assist with the inspection and depending on the level of inspection chosen by the owner, all of it can be used to really give a real condition and predictability assessment of your valuable Wind Turbine.
The WTIS Report
The WTIS inspection will incorporate the following:
- An experienced detailed eye
- Thermographic surveys of the gearbox, motors, and generators
- Thermographic inspection of the Wind Turbine electrical cabinets and electronics
- Thermographic inspection of the power export cables and equipment.
- Thermographic inspection of the Wind Turbines converter system if applicable
- Thermographic inspection of the ancillary and main transformer
- Laser alignment test of the Wind Turbines gearbox and generator
- On-site, real-time oil analysis, comparing what is being put in the gearbox against the condition of the oil within it. This gives immediate, non-contestable evidence of the condition of the Wind Turbine gearbox.
- Vibration analysis of the bearings
- Grease analysis where it is possible to get suitable samples, for example the main bearing and generator.
- Acoustic analysis of the rotating parts
- A torque check report
- Blade inspection
- Photographic evidence of either poor or good workmanship of the maintenance of the Wind Turbine.
- A desktop study of the available wind turbines data, including frequent errors, parameter changes, yield Vs wind, and availability.
- A root cause analysis of major breakdowns where the information is
- A report on the Health and Safety standards.
- Where faults have been frequently recurring the “5 whys” system approach will get to the root cause of the issue.
