gentlemen:
relative to my previous posts dated 12 August 2009 and 27 August 2009, wherein we are bidding out the erection of a more than 100MWe wind farm, i would like to solicit your kind advises or insights on which part of the wind turbine will most likely become a maintenance problem within a year or so of operation.
i have surfed the net and the most likely will be the drive train, notwithstanding a lightning or a catastrophic event like an earthquake.
if, indeed, the drive train will be our area of maintenance priority, can we as the owner operator, require the turbine manufacturer to stock up on drive trains, or gears for that matter, as a precaution, sort of looking ahead and avoiding maintenance shutdowns?
in your experiences, if it is not the drive train or gears, which should we be looking at, being first time owner operator?
thank you again, indeed, for the time and patience.
