In order to minimize downtimes due to icing, STAWAG invested in a rotor blade-based system. In addition to eologix two other providers have been evaluated. A clear decision went in favour of the eologix:restart system. The reasons for this are simply explained:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • positive performance audit of the commercial department<\/li>\n
  • simple system setup and 100% maintenance-free<\/li>\n
  • easy installation – as you just have to stick the sensors on the blade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    The collaboration with eologix was a good decision \u2013 the support was very good<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]By law, the Monschau-H\u00f6fen wind farm is obliged to stop the wind turbines in case of safety-relevant ice accumulation. Prior to the installation of the eologix system, an ice detection system based on the power curve was used. This system performed very rough shutdowns and did not allow an automatic restart. When the system had to be restarted when there was no ice anymore, it was necessary to drive to the wind turbine all the time, perform an inspection and then restart the wind turbine manually.<\/p>\n

    In order to reduce the effort and minimize downtime, we decided to invest in the rotor blade-based system eologix:restart, which measures directly on the blade surface and is also DNV-GL certified for automatic restart.<\/p>\n

    Decisive drivers for the system were the economic efficiency and the simple design of the system with tremendous advantages such as easy installation, maintenance-free operation and measurement of ice thickness in different levels.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”24″][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1649682943265{background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1672758583978{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

    “<\/i>The eologix system is uncomplicated and easy to install. The technology is simple but of good quality and does a very good job. The system reacts quickly and very precisely.

After a more precise evaluation, the additional yield can even be evaluated.<\/p>\n

    The system is uncomplicated and easy to install. The technology is simple but of good quality and does a very good job. The eologix system reacts quickly and very precisely. And what we couldn’t know in advance, but we noticed very positively in the implementation of the project is the cooperation with eologix – the support was very good, confirms Fotios Chitzios.<\/p>\n
