Pitch System Optimization Restores Power Curve Performance Across 25 Turbines
"Kavaken detected a consistent performance drop near the rated power region across 25 turbines. The issue was traced to the pitch system and resolved after corrective adjustments, restoring full production efficiency fleetwide."
The Impact
The Issue
A drop in the power curve was observed near the rated power region in 25 turbines. The trend indicated irregularities in the pitch control system, which affected turbine performance under high wind conditions.
The Action
Kavaken identified the deviation early and linked it to the pitch system affecting multiple turbines. The operator reviewed the findings and performed corrective adjustments in the pitch control setup. Following these optimizations, output near the rated power region returned to expected levels across all affected turbines, confirming the issue’s resolution.
