Wind Power Standard ensures improved reliability
The demands in terms of component reliability in both onshore and offshore wind turbines have increased considerably over the last few years. Rolling bearings for example play a critical role here. The development of multi-megawatt turbines has led to higher forces and torques, which means components are subjected to ever increasing loads. At the same time, any downtime or maintenance can be very costly, especially in the case of offshore plants.
