Moventas and Danish Wind Power Academy (DWPA) have united forces and cooperate in bringing the wind industry’s best turbine and gearbox expert training – with our first training session in February! Benefit from several types of courses, ranging from general gearbox maintenance to the specific vibration monitoring.

 

“With this co-operation we are able to support owners and operators to maintain their gearboxes with proper care in order to maximize turbine availability. There is a clear demand for this kind of activity in the market. Moventas and DWPA share the same vision: to help the wind industry to gain a competitive advantage through preventive maintenance approach. We are looking forward to see many customers in the upcoming trainings.” Teemu Hyytiäinen, VP Sales and Commercial Operations.

 

 

Teemu Hyytiäinen, Lorenzo Monaco and Danilo Scamonatti from Moventas formalized the cooperation relationship with Carsten L. Andersen and Soren Nygaard from the Danish Wind Power Academy at Moventas’ Italian training facility on 6th of September 2019.

 

This cooperation represents over 70 years of combined wind turbine and gearbox expertise. Moventas and DWPA will reinforce each other by providing unique training opportunities for our clients. The training sessions, lasting 3-5 days, include both theoretical, technical, and hands on portions, with instructors and guest speakers from selected sub-suppliers. The material and case examples are updated and customized to customer needs. Courses are available for all types of operators: Owners & Operators, 3rd party ISP, sub-suppliers and turbine OEMs.

 

“We started our gearbox training courses back in 2007 with the aim to extend lifetime on this expensive and important main component through quality inspections in a timely manner to be able to act in time with retrofits and repairs, that would avoid the extensive unplanned breakdowns. Besides the inspections we also train for correct understanding of damage development, and the systems around the gearbox, such as pitch and converter systems. Even though gearbox quality today is significantly higher than back then, we still need to inspects our gearboxes and keep a professional and preventive maintenance approach to get the best possible lifetime out of today´s extremely high loaded gearboxes. ”

Carsten L. Andersen, Managing Director & CEO of DWPA
