Stress Testing

We all know that the failure of even the smallest component can have a significant impact on generation. So how do we go about reducing the risk? Or to put it another way – increasing the certainty that components will continue to function reliably throughout their specified lifespan? Testing, testing . . . and more testing. Subjecting components to the conditions they will encounter in their operational environment – but long before they enter service on site. Because every minute spent on maintenance after installation is precious. Let’s see how we do this. Our testing bench is used to simulate field conditions at elevated loads levels – applying stress and strain on several dimensions, and using strain gauges to measure the results. By doing so, we can identify and remove failure modes that might cause rapid wear out – improving reliability by eliminating any weak points. Using regression analysis and other modern techniques, we gain a greater understanding of the factors that can lead to component degradation. We can then address this by removing any defects. All of this attention to detail and constant monitoring is made possible by our relentless commitment to wind… By our continuous investment in the world’s largest, blade and drive strain testing facilities. Through our insight into the stresses and strains on components, we are in the strongest possible position to reassure your revenue generation. To back up your business plan.
