GL Garrad Hassan at EWEA 2011: Measuring Wind Turbine Reliability - Results of the Reliawind Project

Hamburg/Germany, Bristol/UK, 9 March 2011 - Over the last three years, the EU funded Reliawind Project has been conducting research to improve the reliability of wind turbines. In his presentation at EWEA 2011 in Brussels, Michael Wilkinson, GL Garrad Hassan, gives insights to the results of the Reliawind Project. The presentation will be held on Wednesday, 16.03.2010, from 9:00 - 10:30 at EWEA. One of the reasons for this project was to better understand reliability by measuring the failure rate and downtime of existing machine designs at operational wind farms.
