First Reference to Help Ensure Decisions are Rational and Unbiased
The Top 30 Wind Turbine Faults chart is a database of the most significant failure mechanisms, identified through a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), which is validated and regularly updated using information available in the public domain and Lloyd’s Register’s experience of working with wind farm operators. This provides a basis for intelligent decision-making during new product design, sensor selection, configuration of condition monitoring software, SCADA specification, O&M management specification and O&M task prioritisation.
