Commissioning
WTGs

Ensuring all turbine systems are operating as expected is a critical part of the commissioning process. This begins with a thorough review of each system’s design and installation, followed by rigorous testing to confirm operational readiness. We meticulously test key components such as the generator, transformer, power converters, and control systems. Each of these elements is subjected to simulated real-world operating conditions, replicating varying wind speeds, power loads, and environmental factors to ensure smooth functionality. Additionally, we assess the interaction between mechanical and electrical systems, such as the alignment of blade pitch control with the electrical output and grid requirements. Our tests include verifying safety systems like automatic shutdowns and fault detection, ensuring that the turbine can respond to abnormal conditions, such as grid failures or mechanical overloads, to prevent damage and ensure long-term reliability.

Our team conducts detailed electrical and mechanical system testing to validate that all critical components are ready for operation. On the electrical side, we test cables, transformers, inverters, and power electronics, verifying correct installation, functionality, and insulation. This process includes high-voltage testing to ensure there are no faults or risks of electrical failure, as well as verifying the grounding system to ensure safety and compliance with industry standards. Mechanically, we test gearboxes, bearings, and lubrication systems, assessing their readiness to handle the operational loads they will face in real-world conditions. This includes torque testing, vibration analysis, and thermal imaging to detect any potential issues like excessive friction, misalignment, or overheating. We also examine the structural integrity of the turbine tower and foundation, ensuring that it can withstand operational stresses, including high winds and turbulent conditions, without compromising performance or safety.

Our commissioning services ensure that your turbine is fully ready for grid integration. This process involves testing the generator’s ability to synchronize with the grid at various power levels, ensuring that the output matches the grid’s frequency and voltage requirements. We conduct power quality tests, including harmonics analysis and reactive power control, to ensure the turbine's output does not negatively affect grid stability and complies with regulatory standards. In addition, we perform load rejection and recovery tests, simulating sudden disconnections from the grid to verify the turbine’s ability to automatically stabilize and resynchronize without damage. Our synchronization procedures include testing overvoltage and undervoltage protection systems to ensure the turbine’s safe integration and operation under various grid conditions. These tests not only help ensure energy efficiency but also prevent costly outages and ensure smooth power delivery to the grid.

To guarantee continuous operation, we perform comprehensive testing of your turbine’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and communication systems. This begins with connectivity testing, ensuring that all remote sensors, controllers, and communication modules can reliably transmit data between the turbine and the central monitoring station. We verify data accuracy by cross-checking sensor outputs, such as wind speed, temperature, and vibration data, with real-time performance metrics. Our testing also includes system redundancy checks, ensuring that backup systems are fully operational to maintain monitoring and control in the event of a failure. We evaluate the turbine’s ability to provide timely alarms and fault signals, enabling operators to take proactive measures if performance deviates from normal operating parameters. Furthermore, we test SCADA’s compatibility with grid communication protocols, ensuring that the system can coordinate with the grid’s operational requirements and provide real-time performance data for optimization and grid compliance reporting.

Before commissioning is completed, we perform a final quality check and validation of turbine performance. This final stage includes a detailed review of all testing and calibration results from both the pre-commissioning and commissioning phases, ensuring that each component and system meets its performance benchmarks. We also run full-load tests, pushing the turbine to its maximum capacity to verify that it can sustain high output without issues. Our team provides a comprehensive handover package, which includes operational manuals, maintenance schedules, and detailed performance reports that outline the turbine’s condition and readiness for full operation. We also offer operator training, ensuring your team is fully prepared to manage and maintain the turbine's operations effectively. Lastly, we perform a formal performance verification test, monitoring the turbine over a designated period to confirm that it meets both its expected power output and efficiency targets. This process ensures the turbine is fully optimized and ready for commercial operations.
