Measurements of wind power plants
Measurements of wind power plants Key to Efficiency and Safety
Wind power plants, as a significant part of the energy landscape, require precise and systematic electrical measurements. These measurements not only ensure the safety of workers and keep equipment in optimal condition, but also allow for effective monitoring and optimization of energy production.
We perform measurements of wind power plants in the scope of:
Measurements of transformers in wind power plants in the field:
- measurement of idle currents,
- measurement of the gearbox and vector group,
- measurement of winding resistance,
- Measurement of the dielectric loss tangent (tg δ)
- Dynamic resistance measurement of a transformer,
mechanical condition assessment of windings using SFRA method, - Partial discharge measurements of transformers,
- transformer oil testing,
- winding resistance measurements with voltage,
- thermal imaging inspection.
- Verification of low-voltage electrical shock protection effectiveness
- Verification of electrical shock protection effectiveness above 1 kV (grounding measurements, touch voltage measurements)
- Medium voltage switchgear inspection
- Medium voltage cable line testing:
- VLF voltage withstand test,
- insulation resistance,
- beveling,
- continuity check,
- leak tightness test of the outer shell
- Lightning protection system testing
- Tests, lighting measurements in turbines
- Cable fault location
- Protective conductor continuity measurement
Electrical measurements in wind power plants are not just control procedures, but a key component of efficiency and safety management. Systematic monitoring of electrical parameters enables rapid response to changes in conditions, minimizing the risk of failure and maintaining high energy efficiency. Investment in advanced measurement technologies is therefore becoming indispensable for a sustainable and efficient wind power industry of the future.

Grounding resistance measurements of wind power plants We perform holistic measurements, i.e. from the tip of the rotor blade to the ground
-
- Measurement of ground resistance - a worker being lifted to the tip of a wind turbine rotor blade.
-
- Ground resistance measurement - a worker performing ground resistance tests for lightning protection verification.
-
- Sliding bearing resistance measurements of a wind turbine.
Measurements of incomplete discharges of transformers Transformers built in wind power plants are particularly vulnerable to incomplete discharges. Their diagnostics help prevent costly fires and power plant shutdowns.
