The first of these projects will be carried out for Innopower in the Ajos wind park in Kemi, Northern Finland. This will involve a lubrication upgrade for ten turbines consisting of an upgrade for the entire gearbox lubrication system, installing extra pumps for the main bearings, adding temperature sensors, changing the coolers and updating the lubrication management logic. Additional lubrication will also form part of the upgrade in situations where it has previously been insufficient leading to turbine failures.
The upgrage forms part of a larger service project which is expected to prolong turbine lifetime and minimize potential risks through the addition of key, high quality, components and professional maintenance. The upgrade will take a maximum of five days to complete in each case, depending on the delivery scope, but considerably prolongs turbine lifetime by preventing main component failures. The entire programme will be complete by August this year.
“We have a long-standing, good cooperation with our partner network for the benefit of customers who own WinWind turbines in Finland as well as the rest of Northern Europe, where these customers’ wind parks are located” said Moventas’ Nordic Service Sales Manager Teemu Hyytiäinen.
