OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE WHY RETROFIT?
As engineers we have always been told ‘never change a running system’ – if it’s contributing to the energy supply required of today’s society, this is particularly relevant
To ensure continued production from windfarms there is a need to operate a monitoring strategy enabling you to make the best decisions for assets. As the installed number of turbines continues to increase and assets age you need the ability to upgrade to some of the newer technologies used today on the latest turbines. This upgrade is necessary in order to be able to deal with the increased communications required and component obsolescence.
By allowing the right level of data being delivered to your control centre, you can manage your service team’s time more efficiently and ensure they are prepared for the task awaiting them on site.
Phoenix Contact can help with the requirements of today by providing systems to permit the effective monitoring of turbines from lightning monitoring systems, rotor blade monitoring, LED tower lighting, ice detection and communication solutions which cover… LM-S » Detection of lightning strikes on rotor blades
» Exact data about the lightning parameters
» Early damage detection of blades » Enabling predictable maintenance » Cost avoidance » Insurance
RBTM » Detection of defective rotor blades » Load measurement at rotor blades » Allows load-based control of the WTG
» Certified by DNV GL » Minimise your downtime
» Early reaction in case of problems with the blade structure
LED TOWER LIGHTING » Very easy cabling » Standard compliant emergency lighting » Reduced and predictable maintenance » Fast and easy exchange of the old system
» Lighting for a safe exit on power failure
ICE DETECTION » Detection and measurement of icing and temperature at different positions on the blade
» Easy retrofitting without any drilling and cabling
HUB & PITCH PRODUCTS RETROFIT
The company can also help with communications – if there is a need to install a new system within a turbine, they can help transmit the information to a control centre to suit the installation such as… » Communication to retrofitted sensors » Improved data communication to the hub
» Solution for legacy telecommunications » Options for remote monitoring » Secure communication to the remote control
