Refurbishment gets wind turbine drive back into gear
The main drive gearboxes of wind turbines are well known to suffer in-service performance issues, says power transmissions specialist Brevini. But the rapid growth of this market, and demand for higher energy generating capacity, has meant that as fast as existing designs are improved, newer, larger gearboxes with potentially new issues have entered the market. The result is a large number of main drive gearboxes that are in need of periodic repair and refurbishment
