  • Nacelle - System and Components
    Wind turbine nacelles are the heart of the turbine, alike the engine room on a ship. It houses all the critical components that finally transform the wind's kinetic energy into a spinning generator, which then generates the electricity.
  • Case Study: Self-lubricating Nacelle Slider Tracks Improve Endurance and Lower Maintenance Costs
    Self-lubricating nacelle slider tracks improve endurance and lower maintenance costs
  • Engine Inverter Doors Control
    Aircelle is one of the leading players in the global nacelle market. It produces large and small nacelles, thrust reversers and aerostructures. A subsidiary of SAFRAN, Aircelle employs 3 000 people on seven different sites located in France, England and Morocco. The company uses three Creaform
  • Bond Tester Helps Protect Wind Turbines from Lightning
    Lightning strikes are a leading cause of damage to wind turbines even though they are designed with a lightning arrestor system that conducts the electricity from the tip of the blade, through the nacelle and down the tower to ground. A damaged turbine must be repaired before it can be returned
  • Wind Turbine Manufacturer Implements Clean Air Initiative
    When you think about generating electricity from wind, clean energy comes to mind. However, the wind turbine production process can be a major source of air pollution without the proper controls in place. Manufacturing and painting the blades, towers and nacelles requires composite construction
  • Application Note - Windmills (.pdf)
    One source of alternate clean energy is use of windmills for electrical power generation. Today's advanced windmills provide many sensors within the nacelle all connected to a PC to monitor and control windmill operation and data collection. Large windmills exceeding 2 Megawatts or more electrical
  • Mission Critical: How Expanded Metal Protects from the Damaging Effects of Lightning Strikes
    protection system includes embedding a fine expanded metal mesh within the surface layers throughout an aircraft or within the nacelle and blades of a wind turbine. This white paper will discuss the effects of lightning strikes, preventative measures, and how using expanded metal mesh can limit
  • Benefits of IEPE accelerometer isolation design
    market has made them the sensor of choice for monitoring these massive, slow speed equipment. Effective. wind turbine monitoring is performed in the nacelle with sensors located at five key locations. ISO 10816 standards for condition monitoring of onshore wind turbines (Part 21) identifies
  • Lightning Strike Protection for Carbon Fiber Aircraft
    for commercial nacelle. applications subjected to lightning strike effects, it has been. an industry practice to use a series of external metal mesh. products such as copper, aluminum, phosphorous bronze wire. interwoven with carbon, nickel coated interwoven carbon fiber,. and nickel coated non-woven veils
