Reconditioning of major components

Reconditioning of major components (gearboxes, generators and blades) is a Gamesa service entailed within the reach of Operation and Maintenance (O&M), enabling the harnessing of a wind turbine's full performance while reducing the costs of operation and maintenance.

This service extends the life of large wind turbine components by either enhancing or replacing internal elements with the latest technological advances.

Experience and expertise accumulated in the wind power sector as a manufacturer and expert in operation and maintenance services empower Gamesa to offer the best relationship between useful service life extension and reconditioning cost, through:

• A global organization of operation and maintenance services (O&M). Gamesa has 39 regional centers and 5 dedicated plants with personnel specialized in performing reconditioning tasks on major components: diagnosis, repair and testing.
• Spare parts stock, including reconditioned major components, which thus reduces wait times.
• Quality tested on each reconditioning with maximum power testing on gearboxes and generators to prevent premature failures.

When Gamesa takes on wind farm maintenance, its guarantee entails the costs for major corrective tasks, which represents a savings of up to 30% on the total cost of reconditioning.
