We disassemble any obsolete wind turbine, regardless of its location or size. Environmentally sound recycling & disposal of materials. We remove the rotor blade and the nacelle and strip down the tower into its individual parts. As a
The blades and the gearbox take up the majority of a wind turbine''s cost. Source: Aron Yigin Return on Investment. So let''s say we have an onshore 2.6 MW turbine, which according to the NREL, costs $37 per MWh to
This three part Turbine Generator Tip discusses the most common steam turbine casing problems: cracking, distortion and erosion. Most units can be repaired by grinding, welding or by pre-stressed mechanical

To create the wind generator, a scrap piece of pipe is used as a shaft that is attached to the hub of the turbine. An office chair frame is then welded to the pole or post of the turbine in a way
The turbine casing is a critical component in the design of a turbine, providing essential protection and support for the internal components. Turbine casings can be manufactured using a variety of techniques, including casting, forging,
Casing distortion can be corrected by welding, machining, localized heating and rounding discs inserted during stress relief. See previous Tips in the series for considerations in employing these methods.
Welding is a common method to repair turbine casing cracks, but it must be applied with consideration. Most turbine casing alloys can be welded using either of two distinct procedures: stress relieved and non-stress
The share of wind-based electricity generation is gradually increasing in the world energy market. Wind energy can reduce dependency on fossil fuels, as the result being attributed to a
Welding is a common method to repair turbine casing cracks, but it must be applied with consideration. Most turbine casing alloys can be welded using either of two distinct procedures: stress relieved and non-stress relieved. The procedure selected is often dictated by time and cost restraints.
We disassemble any obsolete wind turbine, regardless of its location or size. Environmentally sound recycling & disposal of materials. We remove the rotor blade and the nacelle and strip down the tower into its individual parts. As a next step, we cut the parts down to a smaller size.
The final Turbine Tip in this series discusses two common steam turbine casing problems – Distortion and Erosion. The repair methods employed – grinding, mechanical repair, welding and stress relief – have their own set of considerations which were covered in previous portions of the series.
Turbine casings are the outer shells that house the internal components of a turbine, such as the blades and rotor. They are typically made of high-strength materials, such as steel or titanium, that can withstand the high temperatures and pressures that occur during turbine operation. Turbine casings serve several important functions, including:
The most common causes of distortion are steady state and transient thermal stresses which can occur within all turbine sections (HP, IP, LP). Inner casings distort more easily than outer casings due to their thinner cross-section and higher temperature differentials across the casing walls.
There are several types of turbine casings used in various applications, including: Horizontal split casing: This type of casing is split horizontally into two parts and is commonly used in large power generation turbines. The split design allows for easy access to the internal components for maintenance or repair.
