Rexroth releases improvements to condition monitoring and blade controls
Cost of energy (CoE) is the key measure of wind turbine efficiency, as well as being a top priority for turbine operators. Condition monitoring systems make an important contribution in this regard, enabling condition-oriented maintenance to reduce operating costs, and therefore the CoE, in a sustainable manner. Rexroth says its ACoS, the Advanced Condition Monitoring…
Trends in filters 2014
Gearbox breathers are the first line of defense against airborne contaminants. The devices let the gearbox take in air as it cools while filtering water vapor and solid contaminants before they enter the fluid system. When gearboxes warm up, breathers should let expanding air escape while keeping oil mist and splash inside. When a breather…

Cyclone flow in the filter keeps gearbox cleaner
A recently developed oil filter produces a cyclone flow, a tangential flow path, to ensure a uniform flow around the filter element and drive heavy particles to the outside. This prevents the filter material from getting clogged too quickly. The particles collect in the groves of the redesigned filter bowl, from where they can be…
Bosch Rexroth controller helps prevent rotor blade damage
Continuous blade monitoring can be an effective tool for sustaining the efficiency and performance of wind turbines.
