Long-term cost savings with a general overhaul – worldwide!

Faults in the electronic component assemblies are often the cause of downtime. They therefore have a direct influence on the technical availability of the wind turbine. However, simply repairing the damaged component does not always offer a long-term guarantee. For this reason, our repair concept is based on a comprehensive general overhaul, with the specific goal of improving reliability.

We offer our customers a two-year guarantee on our components that have undergone a general overhaul. For this reason, our repaired products represent a real alternative to expensive new parts.

In principle, we not only supply generally overhauled electronic components but rather support our customers with all issues around the installation and the operation of component assemblies.

We offer the following product groups:

One step ahead with in-house developments

In addition to classic reconditioning, we also develop our own solutions. This allows us to achieve increasing independence from parts manufacturers with regards to the availability of goods and prices. We win over our customers with the quality, efficient operation and, not least, economic efficiency of our innovative product developments in the areas of converter, measurement and tool technology.

The development work is characterised by exchanges based on actual practice within the Deutsche Windtechnik Group and our discussions with customers and partners. Your needs, wishes and ideas inspire us to take new paths.

The following three especially successful products are examples of our developments:

• SKiiP® Packs for Vestas® converters
• SKiiP® converter checking device
• Magic Eye: optical interface unit for Vestas® controllers

We would be happy to provide details on other in-house developments upon request.

We can do it even better – reverse engineering

The electronics used in the wind turbines frequently represent a “black box” as the documentation on the component assembly is primarily kept by the manufacturer. Our reverse engineering (RE) department not only makes it possible for us to reconstruct and reproduce different components. Over and above this, our goal is to significantly increase the lifespan of the component through a new design and by utilising the latest technology.

First the analysis and then the reproduction ...

During RE work, our engineers and technicians systematically analyse the electronic component produced by the manufacturer. When all required information has been extracted, the component that has been examined can now be reconstructed. In the process, the duplicated component is first a one-to-one copy of the original in its properties and its use. A successful complete function test under simulated operating conditions completes the development process.

... and then comes the optimisation

The data collected and evaluated within the scope of the product analysis makes it possible for us to further develop the component in order to improve it. For example, the component assemblies are frequently no longer state-of-the-art when it comes to performance and durability.

We exchange the components to which this applies by more powerful components. This preventive approach to repair work with the goal of improving performance is what makes us stand out clearly from other providers of repair services.

As we carry out the reconditioning according to industrial standards, we have committed to documenting the work steps and results for every single component assembly.

Our service doesn’t stop at sales

We not only supply generally overhauled electronic components but also support our customers in all areas related to the installation and operation of component assemblies.

We also carry out assessment tasks on the electronics, for example, we create expert assessment reports on damage for insurance purposes.

Give us a ring. We would be happy to advise you.
