Lowering major operating costs and streamlining operations has been a key goal for the maturing wind industry in the USA. Gearboxes and generators are among the most costly and disruptive failed parts in wind turbines currently.
Liftra has developed a new technology, the Liftra Crane, which will lower the total costs to change out gearboxes and generators for certain turbines. E.ON Energy Services has purchased this technology from Liftra and will offer it as part of a new service offering to customers in the North American market. The Liftra technology is currently applicable on the General Electric 1.5, the Vestas V82 and Siemens 2.3 platforms.
