The Wind Turbine Gearboxes work exposed to high loads for a long time and often under very adverse conditions. As a critical element of Wind Turbines, it has to satisfy very high demands. Failures that occur in Wind Turbines based in gears technology, are mainly due to the Gearbox. Long stops of the Wind Turbines, logistic requirements and infrastructure needs (cranes, equipment, etc ...) to carry out repairs in Wind Turbines are extremely expensive. In many cases, these operations have a higher cost than the repair itself. A non working Gearbox stops the electricity generation production and, subsequently the income for the business owner or operator of the wind farm. Proper regular, predictive and preventive maintenance can significantly lengthen the life of this critical element. A fast, reliable, competitive and agile corrective maintenance is also necessary when the damage has already been caused.
WPT, provides inspections and audits services including Gearboxes vibration analysis, endoscopic camera inspections and individual components repairs "in situ" when possible. If the Gearbox cannot be repaired in the Wind Turbine (what often happens), the machine is moved to WPT facilities (near Barcelona) where it is rechecked, repaired, tested in the Test Bench and finally returned to the client with reports and the agreed warranty.
WPT, as specialists in Gearboxes, have extensive experience and knowledge in solving troubleshooting and repair of Gearboxes. One of the main targets of WPT is the decrease of the downtime period of customer equipment.
