INNOVATIONS FUTURE


As well as being able to boast having designed the highest number of certified wind turbine gearboxes


in the market, the company also has the technology to monitor their performance with InSight software and services.


PROVEN TEAM EXPERTISE The Romax InSight team has proven expertise offshore and onshore in multiple turbine types and diverse SCADA and CMS systems. Services include vibration and SCADA monitoring, lubrication analysis, predictive life modelling, O&M inspection, and health assessments – to have a positive impact on the cost of energy, improve reliability, performance and power


generation, maximise uptime and stretch O&M. InSight predictive maintenance solutions combine a unique mix of engineering skills, consulting expertise, specialist software and field experience in drivetrain. This mix of monitoring and inspection services enables wind farm owners and operators to schedule in their maintenance and make significant cost savings.


RAPID GROWTH Andy concludes: “In the rapidly growing wind energy sector, in which gearbox and driveline performance, efficiency, reliability and robustness are key, we as a business have addressed these issues with our portfolio of wind products and services.


“Through solutions such as


RomaxDESIGNER and InSight we apply technical innovation to improve reliability and profitability of current and new generation multi-megawatt wind turbines. The wind industry is continuously evolving and it’s therefore important that we address the concerns of tomorrow.


“Looking ahead into the future, we expect to see a greater emphasis placed on addressing concerns over gearbox, main bearing and generator failures, through the use of improved detection systems as well as faster reporting at the earlier stages of failure. Particularly site managers are going to be faced with the choice as whether to outsource this functionality or keep it in-house.


“Currently over 75 per cent of expenditure for large on and offshore wind farms are related to a site’s operation & maintenance (O&M). As a result O&M managers are being placed under extreme pressure to collect and analyse data and develop preventative strategies to minimise the risk of wind turbine failure and reduce downtime.


“By improving visibility and accuracy over faults, as well as a unified view across all wind turbine data, O&M managers will have access to longer maintenance lead times, meaning operators can shift from a reactive to a proactive strategy, enabling more effective planning, in the event of failure.”
