Further analyses and measurements

Additional services for maximum safety, efficiency and transparency

Depending on project requirements, 8.2 expands its tests to include additional measurements and analyses, which enable an even more accurate assessment of the system condition. Whether it's lightning protection, grounding, vibrations or lubricant analyses — we provide independent results that validate technical decisions and protect investments.

An overview of our measurements

• Lightning protection measurement: Continuity measurement of the lightning protection system — as a low-resistance or high-voltage measurement, depending on the type of system
• Grounding measurement: Determination of the grounding resistance of the wind turbine
• Vibration measurement on the drivetrain: Recording the body noise of the drivetrain components (link to condition monitoring)
• Tower misalignment measurement: Recording and evaluation of the inclination of the tower axis as a basis for technical decisions and reports
• Natural frequency measurement: Determination of the tower's 1st natural frequency through acceleration measurements
• Temperature measurement after concreting: Monitoring the concrete temperature to prevent cracks and structural damage

An overview of our analyses

• Lubricant analysis: Standardized sampling, laboratory analysis and independent evaluation of results
• Lifetime analysis: Project-specific calculation of the remaining useful life — e.g. during transactions, plant expansion or following damage events
• Thermography: Qualitative comparative testing of components for early fault detection or detection of malfunctions

Tailored solutions

If the services described here do not exactly meet your requirements, we will work with you to develop individual solutions — technically feasible, economically viable and tailored to your type of system.
