E-3120 Turbine Repairs and Upgrades
There are a number of areas on the E-3120 wind turbine that have design issues and these will need attention at some point in the life of the turbine.
The main issues with the E-3120 wind turbine are:
- Bedplate cracking
- Spring tube failure
- Low speed shaft cracking
- Hub wear
- Hub slip
DC21 has developed some in house solutions, and is working with several engineers to develop product upgrades to address these issues.
