Prudent person standard for wind turbines through periodic vibration monitoring
The prudent person standard is a legal principle that assumes a person behaves reasonably as a responsible person and does everything necessary to prevent (foreseeable) damage. It is therefore important…
Vibration monitoring optimizes wind turbine availability and maintenance efficiency
Asset managers, operators, and operators of wind turbines have two key objectives: 1) optimizing the availability of wind turbines, and 2) executing the most cost-efficient maintenance strategy possible. In this…
What costs can be avoided with vibration monitoring in wind turbines
Wind turbines are exposed to high wind speeds, temperature variations, and mechanical forces. Over time, these factors can cause wear and tear, potentially leading to costly malfunctions and a reduced…
Customer reference Sappi: Replacing vibration protection systems
Replacing a Bently Nevada BN3300 vibration monitoring and protection system with a Vibro-meter VM600 Mk2 The Maastricht Paper Production Mill operates a powertrain consisting of a gas turbine, gearbox,…
The importance of an end-of-warranty analysis for wind turbine owners
When the warranty period of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is almost over, an end-of-warranty analysis becomes essential for wind turbine owners. During the warranty period, the OEM is responsible…
Condition monitoring for wind turbines
The mechanical forces to which wind turbines are subjected, the continual increase in the size of these turbines, and the rapidly growing number of wind turbines make it necessary for…
The importance of brand-independent vibration analysis for wind turbines
The importance of vibration measurements can overlap for OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and wind turbine owners, but there are also some differences in their perspectives and priorities. Factors such as…
