WIND POWER

THE DELOM ADVANTAGE

Due to its many years of experience with electromechanical and rotating equipment, and given its mission, the company decided to establish the Wajax | Delom Wind Division. As wind generator specialists, Wind Division teams offer wind generator exchange plans, as well as a full range of services, in-shop or up-tower, to maintain, repair, and improve equipment, and to provide spare parts.

Wind Division teams carry out repairs and overhaul for all types of wind generator technology, whether for preventive or predictive maintenance, an end-of-warranty inspection, reverse engineering, or a full rewinding of the rotor and/or stator. We also provide our clients with reports outlining the root cause of the failure, as well as complete repair reports to provide a 360^o vision of their units. Our goal is to reduce to a minimum the wind turbines’ downtime, while optimizing the units for the proper functioning of the wind generators.

Over the years, various types of generators have had failures that seemed redundant due to designs that were not adapted to the extreme weather conditions in northern areas. Wajax | Delom Wind Division therefore established retrofit procedures that can be carried out up-tower or in our workshop that are correcting the shortcomings of those wind generators designs.

The Wajax | Delom Wind Division has developed several innovative repair techniques enabling us to carry out a very large number of specialized electrical and mechanical works up-tower. Our up-tower service teams are multidisciplinary, minimizing the need to remove the generator from the turbine. Wajax | Delom Wind Division also carries an inventory of replacement parts for wind generators, such as brush holders, brushes, bearings, etc.

DELOM AND THE INDUSTRY

The wind power industry is on the rise all over the world. This clean renewable energy is abundantly available in Canada and North America. The technologies related to wind power generators, however, are relatively new compared to other energy sources and Nordic climates poses challenges that cause stress and wear on the structures as well as on the generators and mechanical components.

Removing a generator from the tower to repair it bares significant direct costs as it calls for cranes and specialized operators.  The indirect costs, however, are also prohibitive due to a stoppage of production while the unit is being repaired. This is why Wajax | Delom works side by side with its client to develop efficient and durable solutions to reduce and prevent failures and to improve the generators electrical and mechanical stability.
