Installation and Replacement of repowering elements

Here at EolicA, we expertly handle the installation of bonded elements on wind turbine blades – such as vortex generators and spoilers – using advanced techniques and specialised tools. These elements are essential for improving aerodynamic performance and turbine efficiency. Our process consists of several steps, carried out with precision using ropes or cable-suspended platforms.

  1. Preparation and Planning: We begin with a detailed evaluation of the blade and planning of the installation, considering the technical specifications of the elements to be installed and the environmental conditions.
  2. Access and Security: We use ropes or cable-suspended platforms to access the blades at height. Safety is a priority, and all our technicians are trained to work at heights and on ropes.
  3. Surface Preparation: The blade surface is carefully prepared to ensure optimal adhesion of the bonded elements. This includes cleaning and, if necessary, repairing any damage or imperfections.
  4. Blade Installation: We proceed with the installation of vortex generators, spoilers and other aerodynamic elements using adhesives and advanced fastening techniques. The elements are accurately positioned to ensure effectiveness and durability.
  5. Installation of Other Elements on Nacelles or Towers: In addition to aerodynamic elements, we also install sensor anchoring systems on turbine nacelles and towers. These components are essential for monitoring the turbines and their operational safety.
  6. Check and Verification: After the installation, we perform a thorough check to ensure that all elements are secured correctly and function as intended. This step is crucial to ensure quality and optimal performance.
  7. Maintenance and Service: We offer maintenance and post-installation services to monitor the conditions of the elements installed and intervene promptly whenever necessary.

With our experience and specialised equipment, EolicA is able to guarantee safe and precise installation of bonded elements on turbine blades, improving the efficiency and safety of plants.
