Challenges
Designing and fitting the fixture around the tight space of the generator up-tower. Cutting and patching a hole in the nacelle to remove the rotor. Implementing an unconventional yacht access flange for nacelle patching.
Value to Client
· Cost savings by avoiding expensive generator replacements and minimizing crane usage.
· Enhanced reliability through proactive identification and resolution of generator stator issues up-tower.
· Improved operational efficiency with a more streamlined maintenance approach.
