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.
The good news is that we can help you. With over 20 years of experience in the wind industry and working with some of the biggest names out there, we have helped them protect their assets and maximise the operational uptime of their turbines.
Humidity is often invisible until damage has already occurred.
As temperatures change inside a turbine, relative humidity changes as well. When surfaces cool below the dew point of the surrounding air, condensation can form.
In contaminated environments, humidity can activate salt deposits and create conductive moisture films that accelerate corrosion and increase the risk of electrical faults.
These mechanisms can contribute to:
The challenge is not simply moisture. It is the combination of humidity, contamination and temperature variation.
Unlike many industrial assets, wind turbines operate as dynamic climate systems.
They experience:
Daily temperature fluctuations
Seasonal weather changes
Pressure differentials
Continuous air exchange
Remote operating conditions
Limited maintenance access
As the turbine breathes and ambient conditions change, moisture and contaminants can enter the structure and influence internal environmental conditions.
Over time, this can create ideal conditions for corrosion, condensation and degradation of sensitive equipment.
