Bearings and condition monitoring specialist Schaeffler (UK) Ltd has supplied five online condition monitoring systems to wind farm developer and operator Fred.Olsen Renewables (FOR). A further 20 condition monitoring systems from Schaeffler are expected to be installed on the remaining turbines. In May 2012, FOR installed five FAG WiPro s condition monitoring systems from Schaeffler on five wind turbines at the Crystal Rig wind farm in Scotland. These systems continuously monitor the condition of the main rotor bearings, gearbox and generators, with Schaeffler UK also providing remote monitoring services on a 24/7 basis.
