Engineering company sincro Mecanica helps to make sure ageing turbines stay productive at Spain's leading wind farms. In Spain, many wind farms are situated in remote, rugged, mountainous terrain, where generators are subjected to harsh environmental conditions. Improved pitch technology - the ability to alter the angle of the blades to deal with variable wind speed and power demands - places increasing strain on turbine powertrains, as does the installation of higher towers to take advantage of stronger winds. The need for top-quality, time-responsive maintenance and repair is paramount, especially for the mechanisms that translate rotation into power generation. Meanwhile, as Spain's wind turbine installations mature, many of the turbines are coming out of warranty. This is where Sincro Mecanica comes in.
