Ever wonder about which bits of a wind turbine fails the most? Well here you are.
What surprised me was that as these are onshore, why should the towers fail? I would have put bearings, gearboxes, and blades first. How can a tower built on land fail? It’s not as we have massive earthquakes every year. I expect it of offshore turbines due to poor grouting and scour of the sea bed around the towers, but not onshore. I wouldn’t want one of those on my doorstep.
And we’re paying a green Tariff for these poorly constructed blots on the landscape. Sheesh.
The graph comes from a source that is from a wind turbine company which I’d rather not mention here. If so my source of information may dry up.
