Lightning damage is the single largest cause of unplanned wind turbine downtime, according to DNV. For legacy Gamesa fleets, an air gap in the electrical path is the reason why, and AP Renewables' SLPS retrofit closes it before winter arrives.
Drone-conveyed testing is transforming how lightning protection systems are inspected on wind turbines. But even the most advanced sensors can't compensate for a poor electrical connection. Learn why continuous electrical contact is critical for accurate continuity testing on legacy Gamesa turbines, and how SLPS helps ensure reliable results.
Turbine blade lightning damage accounts for more than 75% of the breakdown costs associated with Gamesa G8X, G9X, and G114 turbines.
