What kind of humidity-induced problems can I face in a wind turbine?

Your wind turbines are exposed to the elements from the moment they leave the production floor. Whether your wind turbine is onshore, nearshore or offshore, you need a dry-air strategy to avoid mould, corrosion and electrical faults in your turbines.

In general, we identified three types of common issues that are being faced by our clients: mould, corrosion, and faster startup after grid loss. The latter is related to preventing arc flashing due to high humidity.
