Wind Power System Maintenance Guide
Regular Maintenance
1. Rotor and Generator Maintenance
Inspect, clean and lubricate all rotating parts, including wind turbines, generators and tail fins, annually
Ensure that the rotor sleeve and the optical axis at the top of the column rotate smoothly so that the tail fins can move flexibly and the turbine faces the wind correctly. It is recommended to disassemble and clean the rotor every six months to one year, clean it with gasoline, and lubricate it with calcium-based grease.
2. Generator Maintenance
Annually lubricate and upkeep the generator bearings. Front and rear bearings require maintenance every six months to a year. Exercise caution while disassembling the generator by gently opening the covers to avoid harming internal wiring or rectifier components. Clean the covers with gasoline, use new calcium-based grease for lubrication, and reinstall following provided guidelines.
3. Maintenance of other parts
Wire ropes, accessories and all fasteners should be cleaned and coated with anti-rust oil before the rainy season every year. The blades of variable pitch wind turbines should be inspected and maintained every six months to one year. Remove the wind turbine, remove the blades, clean the guide rails, sliders, springs, etc. with gasoline, and reinstall the parts after cleaning. Do not apply lubricating oil
4. Maintenance of variable pitch wind turbines
Clean and inspect the blades. The blades are prone to accumulate dust after a long time of use, which affects the sensitivity and consistency of variable pitch control. It is recommended to inspect and maintain them every six months to one year
5. Transmission line maintenance
The transmission lines of small wind turbines may be tangled and broken, and need regular inspection and maintenance
It is recommended to inspect and maintain the system every six months to one year. During maintenance, remove the carbon brushes, check the wear, and replace them if necessary. Use a brush to remove the dust inside the slip ring, and then reinstall the carbon brushes to their original positions.
6. Regular inspection and maintenance plan
Every two years, all exposed parts of the wind turbine should be cleaned, rust-free and painted. After 5 years of operation, the high-grade bearings and high-grade lubricants used in the generator should be checked and the lubricants should be replenished if necessary. After 5 years of operation, the wind turbine should be fully inspected to check whether the blades are aged, cracked, whether the surface of the generator is rusted, whether the hub and vertical shaft are damaged or cracked, whether the wind vane is flexible and deformed, and whether the bearings and servo motor gears need lubrication
7. The importance of regular maintenance
Regular maintenance can ensure the normal operation and efficient operation of the wind power generation system, prevent failures and reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the wind power generation system
8. Summary
The maintenance of the wind power generation system is a complex task that requires regular inspection and maintenance of various components. Following the maintenance plan in this guide, the normal operation and efficient operation of the wind power generation system can be ensured. Regular maintenance can prevent failures, reduce maintenance costs and extend service life. Therefore, the maintenance of the wind power generation system is a very important task.
