Our capabilities
Explore our capabilities within development and optimisation of components and systems for wind turbines.
The pitch system is of vital importance to the performance of the wind turbine.
We have significant experience within hydraulic pitch systems. We have been part of the design and engineering of pitch systems for a wide range of wind turbine and pitch system manufacturers.
Our track record includes, among others:
- Systems design
- Mechanical design
- Hydraulic design
- Control-loop design
- System optimization
- Load and performance evaluation
- Dynamic simulation models
The structural components of a wind turbine tower are exposed to highly varying loads. These loads may damage the bearings, gears, tower, and other components as well as reduce the overall reliability and even the service life of the wind turbine.
In this context, a tower vibration damper effectively suppresses the loads, seeing that it reduces low- and high-frequency vibrations in the turbine.
We possess knowledge within the design, installation, and operation of tower vibration dampers:
- Tower dampers for installation
- Tower dampers for operation
- Active dampers
- Passive dampers
- System integration
- Prototype delivery
- System optimization
- Cost out projects
We have experience within both loads and control for optimization of wind turbine design and operation.
Our competencies include:
- Flex5 and HawC2 experience
- Blade iterations
- Tower iterations
- Power curve calculations
- AEP optimization
- Basic controller tuning
- FAT1 and ConfigIT experience
- Model updates
- Classification of mode shapes, HawCStab2
The nacelle contains many vital parts which ensure the performance of the wind turbine.
We have broad experience in the design, test, and specification of the mechanical and electrical parts of the nacelle. We have participated in several projects for different wind turbine manufacturers.
Our track record includes:
- Systems design
- Mechanical design
- Hydraulic design
- Control-loop design
- System optimization
- Project management
- Cost out
- Cast iron main structure components.
The nacelle contains many different kinds of steel constructions.
We are specialized in the design, test, and specification of steel structures according to relevant Eurocodes and other national norms. We have participated in several projects for different wind turbine manufacturers.
Our track record includes:
- Systems design
- Mechanical design
- System optimization
- Project management
- Cost out
- Welding
- Prototypes, construction, and testing of the areas mentioned above
We have a team of specialists who can help you with all bolt-related areas, whether installing new bolts or evaluating existing bolts.
- Design of new bolt connections
- Evaluation of new bolt connections
- Evaluation of existing bolt connections
- Root cause analysis (RCA)
- Supplier qualification and quality assessment
- Surface treatment of bolts
- Specification of bolts and evaluation of test reports
- Test/verification and supervision of different tightening methods
- Tightening procedures, specifications, test and verification of bolts
The yaw system ensures that the turbine constantly faces the wind to maximize the effective rotor area and thus the power.
There are two main designs for yaw braking systems: Active and passive brakes. We have experience with the development of both designs.
Our track record includes:
- Systems design
- Mechanical design
- Project management
- Cost out
- Yaw rings
- Test of components and/or subsystems
The hub collects all loads and transforms them into electricity, which is transferred to the nacelle.
We have broad experience within the design, test, and specification of the mechanical parts of the hub.
Our track record includes:
- Systems design
- Mechanical design
- Project management
- Cost out
- Cast iron design of the hub and accessories
- Test of components and/or subsystems
As a result, it was natural for us to pursue a closer collaboration with R&D Test Systems since we are very pleased with their work
How can we help you?
