Changing the mindset of operations: turbine foundation monitoring.

Throughout the wind industry, the current standard practice for dealing with turbine foundations is based on periodic inspections and measurements.

With aging wind farms, this approach leaves unresolved questions, particularly around the remaining useful life of a turbine’s foundation.

Changing to a monitoring mindset where characteristics are recorded regularly illustrates trends and enables projections of expected future values.

In this webinar, ONYX Insight Principal Engineer, Ian Prowell, details how traditional drivetrain condition monitoring systems can be leveraged to monitor and streamline operational activities related to foundations cost-effectively.
