WTN Wind Turbine Owners Group

[Richard L]

We've just set up an owners group for anyone who owns WTN wind turbines. The group currently has 34 turbines represented and we're keen to spread the word. If you have a WTN and want to join please go to http://groupspaces.com/WTNOwnersGroup/ and click on 'join group'

What's the point of it (meant in a non rude way)?

 

[Richard L]

Sharing problems / solutions / gripes / advice etc. Really helpful when you've got an issue that someone else has already got a solution for. The C & F owners group has 500 members and works really well.

 

[Sandy]

What problems are you having?

 

[Richard L]

Most of the problems we had (circuit breaker trips, faulty vibration sensor, issues with the tip brake mechanism etc) are sorted out now. No doubt more will crop up in future so will be good to be able to discuss with others.

 

[Bob]

Have they got many turbines installed in the UK?

 

[Richard L]

Don't know exactly. 50 - 100 I'd guess. Maybe more.

 

[bosses son]

How big are these turbines and how are they doing?

Also Richard, would hope that your group warns the members of predatory individuals like Patrick Moran, as here: https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index...shed-wind-turbines.118380/page-2#post-3324506

Good idea Richard L, we have a WhatsApp group for Vestas V27`ers, sharing any problems, comparing output etc. Nothing like being able to talk to someone with same model etc.

How are they doing?

 

[Scoobyscotlad]

Very well, reliable and proven technology , although we upgraded to Mita-Teknik remote monitoring and "unique to site" pitch control software. Well worth it....we get fair bit of wind here, recorded 92mph at our modest 30m hub height during a february storm last year.
Needless to say, glad she was standing still.

Mita teknik is a very reliable we have that in our x series think our highest has been mid 80,s

 

[Scoobyscotlad]

Couldn't praise Mita-Teknik as a company high enough, since it was a retro-fit, it took a few months to get the tuning of the pitch control exactly correct for strong gusty winds but performance is spot on now... for example, with the monitoring we could look back and see 4 high wind stops(10mins each) during Christmas night/Boxing day morning, the strongest was at 1.15am a 34.3m/s 76mph gust

Any idea how to stop the controller loop on a v27?
