Onshore
Due to superior performance in high wind speeds, no height restrictions of the wind turbine and fast relocation between the wind turbines, WindSpider offers time and cost-saving benefits, with reduced impact on the natural surroundings of the wind turbines.
Benefits of WindSpider for Onshore wind market
As the onshore wind turbines continue to grow in size and height, the compatible technology suitable for installation and maintenance of such wind turbines is becoming a scarce commodity.
Only the largest cranes in the world are capable of installing the largest of the turbines, and those come with very high daily rates, long mobilization time and low availability. Additionally, their size results in issues with transport and a vast amount of space required to erect them, which negatively affects the nature surrounding the wind parks.
WindSpider offers a superior solution, by approaching the tasks of installation and major component replacement in an innovative and game-changing way. By erecting the crane around the wind turbine tower, WindSpider reduces the damage to the surrounding nature.
An additional advantage of this innovative approach is eliminating the issue of relative motion between the wind turbine and the crane, resulting in incredible operability of controlled lifts in winds of up to 15 m/s for tower sections and nacelle, and 18m/s for blade installation/removal.
The WindSpider onshore system is capable of installing the nacelle, a hub and a power train of the future generations of the onshore wind turbines in one lift.
The solution is modular, easy to transport in standard size containers by road or sea and can be scaled up or down to meet the demands of a wind turbine model, without any changes or modifications to its design and with no height restrictions.
With an additional benefit of fast relocation time between the wind turbines, WindSpider cuts cost, reduces the time of the operations and improves the operability of wind parks.
In short, more green energy. Faster. And for less.
