e-POSTER: Life Extension of Wind Turbine Main Bearings using Vibration Analysis to Drive O&M

21 May 19
1:30 PM - 1:55 PM

Tracks: Operations and Maintenance, Poster Presentations

A small percentage of drive train failures are in the main bearing(S) of wind turbines. These are avoidable, correctible and can be predicted most times years in advance. Excellent since the main bearing replacement is a very expensive repair usually requiring a hub pull.
