The Windaba Expo in Cape Town never goes by without WearCheck being present at this well-attended annual wind technology event.  Globally, countries are actively engaging alternative power sources than the traditional oil and coal options in a move to harness abundant natural resources and to be more earth-friendly.

The theme for this year’s Windaba conference was asset management which focused on optimising wind turbine life cycle through the use of remote online monitoring and data analytics.

For this year’s event, WearCheck showcased their specialist reliability solutions and newly expanded transformer services divisions with vibration, thermography and transformer oil analysis just been some of the services on offer as part of WearCheck’s condition monitoring portfolio for South Africa’s burgeoning wind industry.

Through a good condition monitoring programme, wind turbines are kept operating reliably at their peak output, enabling them to generate an uninterrupted power supply.
