6 FAQs about [Common problems with wind power generation quality]

Are wind turbine failures standardized?

This article presents a standardized analysis of failures in wind turbines concerning the main technologies classified in the literature, as well as identifies critical components and trends for the most modern wind farm facilities, which seek greater efficiency, robustness and reliability to mitigate failures and reduce wind turbine downtime.

Why is early warning of wind turbine failure important?

It is crucial to realize efficient early warning of wind turbine failure to avoid equipment breakdown, to prolong the service life of wind turbines, and to maximize the revenue and efficiency of wind power projects. For this purpose, wind turbines are used as the research object.

What factors affect the performance of wind turbines?

Variation in voltage fluctuation or variation in speed between high-speed shaft and low-speed shaft varies the rotation of wind turbines. Other parameters such as encoder failure, sensor failure and software failure also affect the performance of WTGs.

Are wind turbines at risk of failure?

However, due to complex mechanical structures and harsh environments, wear in wind turbine components such as the blades, the hubs, the gearboxes, and the pitch systems is inevitable and wind turbines are at risk of failure at any time, leading to a significant increase in their operating and maintenance costs.

What are the different types of wind turbine failures?

Annual statistics of global wind turbine failures . Common types of failure in wind turbines include blade failure, gearbox failure, pitch system failure, and yaw system failure. The common fault characteristics and causes are summarized as follows.

Are wind turbine failure rates declining?

It is clear that the failure rates of the wind turbines (WTs) now installed have almost continually declined in the first operational years. This is true for the older turbines under 500 kW and for the 500/600 kW class. However, the group of megawatt WTs show a significantly higher failure rate, which also declines by increasing age.
