Session description

Pitch bearing failures are a significant and very costly problem in the wind industry today, with many complex failure modes and a high cost of repair, often leading to prolonged periods of downtime. In the most extreme cases, a pitch bearing failure can lead to the loss of a blade – an occurrence that has major safety implications and must be avoided. In this presentation, we report on the development of a novel, online, permanent sensor solution for pitch bearing monitoring which is leading to significant O&M cost savings and enabling a predictive maintenance approach
