Case Study: Trianel Windpark Borkum reduces turbine damage risk with SpotSee ShockLog 298

Trianel Windpark Borkum protects 80 wind turbines with SpotSee ShockLog 298

The customer, Trianel Windpark Borkum (TWB), was constructing a major offshore windfarm and needed to prevent costly damage to its 80 wind turbines during transport and installation. Their challenge was to understand and monitor for the specific types of impact events that would cause a turbine to fail prematurely. To address this, they worked with vendor SpotSee and utilized the ShockLog 298 impact recorder.

SpotSee's solution involved using the ShockLog 298 to record the direction, amplitude, and duration of impact forces. TWB determined that low-frequency impacts were a critical risk factor and deployed the monitors on all 80 turbines. This allowed TWB to detect mishandling in real-time, hold the responsible parties accountable, and take corrective action to prevent the installation of damaged assets, thereby avoiding millions in potential costs and ensuring the turbines' long-term performance.
