Putting Some Predictability into Wind Turbine Maintenance

From Moog Components Group
 

 

A wind turbine typically lasts 20 years. But most wind turbine warranties cover only the first two to five years of a wind turbineâ s life. As these systems age, not all facility owners are necessarily prepared to take on the task of maintaining their wind turbines. In some instances, there is a shortage of technicians to do the maintenance work. And even when a facility has the technicians it needs to perform routine repairs, unscheduled maintenance can put a noticeable dent in a facility owner's bottom line.
