SYSTEM
On-line oil sensors provides valuable and reliable information for the wind turbine control system and CMS in order to plan O&M activities
In the Wind energy industry the average practice isto change the synthetic oil every 3-5 years.
Using OilHealth is feasible to harness the lubricant life safely, doing a narrowcontrol of oil parameters in real time.
In synthetic oil the total life cycle is estimated about 7-10 years
• A wind turbine manufacturer started to use theOilWear Sensor in 2015 at their repair shop located in Spain
• Using OilWear, they identified particles in a repaired 1,5 MW gearbox.
• The sensor allowed them to identify different kindof problems in the gearbox:
• Fatigue• Sliding wear• External contamination with fiber.
• This early diagnosis avoided a fatal failure in thegearbox, a major repair and a warranty claim.
Root Cause analysisSuccess Case
The Customer estimated the cost saving about
≈100.000 €.
As reference, the renting for two cranes required during the installation
maneuver is about 20.000 €.

HAPPENSWHAT
ATTEN2 ADDING VALUE
Emerging Technology Day - 2016 28
Atten2 provides a solution oriented to reduce the operational risk, through the On-line
monitoring of the level of wear that takes place in the machine,
Risk Reduction
Certain kind of inspections such as the bearing, gearbox and shaft, may be accomplished when
the machine condition needs it, instead a calendar base strategy. As added value, the customer
will receive an on-line report about his machine condition and how the operation affects its
reliability.
Productivity
Implementing this Technology may have an impact in cost reduction by:
• Reducing oil changes,
• Reducing important failures in gearboxes and bearings
• Reducing costs in down tower maintenance
• Optimizing maintenance planning and resources
Cost Out
This technology together with operational data, may provide an in-depth information of
the machine condition and may add a new perspective about maintenance policies
