FIND WHAT'S REALLY CAUSING YOUR FAILURES

Forensics & Root Causes

When your turbines fail repeatedly — or fail catastrophically — finding the real cause is the difference between fixing it once and paying for it forever. Bring our engineers in to lead an independent investigation that combines your operational data, on-site inspections, and decades of wind-specific expertise. Stop replacing parts. Start solving problems.

Frequently asked questions

Can you look into excessive part failures?
Yes. Excessive part failures are one of the most common patterns we investigate — gearboxes, generators, converters, blades, and electrical components.

Our investigations typically identify root causes in one or more of four categories: manufacturing quality issues, design flaws or under-spec components, operational practices (like improper load management or missed maintenance), and environmental factors such as site-specific stresses.

Once we find the cause, we work with you on a remediation plan — often including OEM negotiations, design modifications, or operational changes.
Do you have experience with fires and other catastrophic losses?
Yes, our team has investigated fires leading to complete loss of assets as well as major damages that were more limited in scope.
We have had multiple fires in our power systems or inverters, can you help?   
Yes. While a small number of component failures is just a fact of life, runaway fires that cause substantial secondary damages are not normal and should be eliminated.

Fires in electrical equipment are not just loss of property, and revenue but also a risk to people and often release toxic fumes and leave toxic residues that could impose health and safety risks as well as substantial costs for clean up. Our team will help you get to the bottom of it.
How do we address personnel and quality root causes?
On many occasions, the best solution to an ongoing issue is better processes and training.

We have used our customized training solutions to address topical gaps and to make sure the value is derived.
FASTER ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS WITH YOUR DATA

25 years of solving wind turbine root causes

We help you save money and optimize operations by tackling the root causes of chronic part consumption and major events. Our investigations pinpoint the underlying issues, enabling you to resolve problems that drain profits and hinder efficiency.
  •   Stop recurring failures — fix problems at the source, not the symptom
  •   Cut part consumption — eliminate the chronic costs of repeat replacements
  •   Data-driven diagnostics — combine SCADA, sensor, and field data for evidence-based findings
  •   Long-term protocols — install processes and training that prevent future failures
