6 FAQs about [Wind farm failure]

Why do wind turbines fail?

Turbine failures are on the uptick across the world, sometimes with blades falling off or even full turbine collapses. A recent report says production issues may be to blame for the mysterious increase in failures. Turbines are growing larger as quality control plans get smaller. The taller the wind turbine, the harder they fall.

Are giant wind turbines falling over?

Giant Wind Turbines Keep Mysteriously Falling Over. This Shouldn't Be Happening. The taller the turbine, the more epic the tumble. Turbine failures are on the uptick across the world, sometimes with blades falling off or even full turbine collapses. A recent report says production issues may be to blame for the mysterious increase in failures.

Why are components failing at wind farms?

Component failures have occurred at wind farms all over the world as the sector grapples with quality challenges following rapid growth of both the global fleet and turbine sizes amid a drive to cut use of fossil fuels to meet net zero emissions targets.

Why did a 71-metre-long wind turbine blade collapse?

The collapse of the 71-metre-long (232 ft) wind turbine blade comes at a time when nearly half of the machines at the site are not working amid an ongoing process conducted by turbine maker Siemens Gamesa for the repair of previously identified manufacturing defects. Fifteen out of the 34 turbines were stopped in March.

How often do wind turbines fail?

By using the data available at the time from the WMEP statistics, they observed that the turbines rated between 0.56-1.5 MW fail significantly more often than the smaller turbines; however, the population is 95% represented by lower rating units.

Are wind turbine failures standardized?

This article presents a standardized analysis of failures in wind turbines concerning the main technologies classified in the literature, as well as identifies critical components and trends for the most modern wind farm facilities, which seek greater efficiency, robustness and reliability to mitigate failures and reduce wind turbine downtime.
