How can Fletcher Moorland Help Maintain Wind Turbines?
Wind Turbines are made up of a number of mechanical and electrical components. The operational lifespan of a Turbine is estimated to be on average 20 years, extending to 30 with appropriate scheduled maintenance.
Fletcher Moorland can help to repair, maintain and replace electrical and mechanical components to keep your Turbines operating efficiently. A far more eco-friendly solution to the traditional route of them being scrapped!
Some of the electrical components of Turbines we’re regularly maintaining and repairing are:
- Pitch Control Boxes
- Anemometer Interfaces
- Pitch Control Boards
- Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT PCB Drivers)
- Power Control Boards
- Display Control Cards
- Inverters
- Capacitor Boxes
- Load Control PCBs
- Input/Output PCBs
- Optical Distribution PCBs
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Bypass Cards
- Power Supply Inverter Boards
- UPS Control Cards
- Rectifier Driver Boards
Fletcher Moorland are experienced in providing maintenance on wind turbine components from many leading manufacturers including Enercon, Siemens Gamasa, Nordex, GE, Vestas and more.
Whether you’re carrying out your regular inspection of the Turbine, or perhaps you’re utilising the benefits of a condition monitoring system as part of a predictive maintenance routine and it’s triggered a warning notification. Knowing that Fletcher Moorlands expert engineers and technicians are available 24/7, 365 days a year is reassuring, peace of mind.
Fletcher Moorland also offer a premium emergency service to handle time sensitive repairs or part supply. That is one reason our partners have confidence that Fletcher Moorland deliver our wind turbine repairs efficiently and reduce their downtime.
Fletcher Moorland are able to provide a significantly shorter lead time than direct to manufacturer. If the turbines aren’t turning, they’re not generating energy and that impacts your profitability.
Fletcher Moorland is the Turbine Maintenance partner you deserve, contact us today to benefit from our electro-mechanical maintenance services:
According to National Grid, when the wind is blowing; Wind Turbines are responsible for 30% of the UKs energy generation. Mechanical failure of a Turbine would have a significant impact on that figure. That’s why, as part of your maintenance plan, regular inspection and repair of your turbines mechanical components is critical.
Turbine Electro-Mechanical Repair at Fletcher Moorland
There are several motors, gearboxes and fans that form the operational parts of a wind turbine, whether they are Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) or Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs). Corrosion, wear, sudden braking on gearboxes in particular is common. A failure here could lead to unscheduled stoppages. Something we’re certain turbine operators are keen to avoid.
Any mechanical part that is in regular or constant use is prone to wear and tear. Investing in a condition monitoring system can help give early signs of faults or failure and allow your maintenance managers to effectively schedule turbine maintenance. Even if you don’t have a condition monitoring system on your turbines, your inspections could flag up potential flaws with Radial Fans, Yaw Motors, Pitch Motors, Brake Motors, Yaw Gearboxes or any other mechanical moving element.
With over 75 years of experience serving industries with mechanical repair and refurbishment. Fletcher Moorland bring our expertise to Wind Turbine operators.
We can provide repair, refurbishment and replacement parts. Keeping wind turbines turning and generating energy.
