Webinar - Wind Turbine Reliability
In this 40 minute webinar, learn how Ice on blades and failed slip rings are two hazards that hamper a wind turbine�s production. As a result, wind-turbine owners and operators may experience a significant reduction of generated power, reducing overall turbine efficiency. We�ll explore how the Moog Blade Sensing Ice Detection System monitors the load of each blade providing real-time data indicating presence and level of ice build-up. We�ll also examine key challenges in transmitting power and data signals from the nacelle through slip rings to the pitch-control system. Costly downtime can be eliminated by using fiber-brush technology and rugged mechanical components in the slip ring. Moog will show how it has designed a slip ring that addresses these requirements for reliability and maintainability and thereby reduces a wind turbine�s overall operating cost.Uploaded: April 29, 2011 Length: 00:37:00 Plays: 51
