SWiFT Hydraulic System FMEA
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The purpose of this Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is chosen to examine the potential failures of the systems which could result in an overspeed event with a potential for flying debris from the wind turbine blades. The FMEA method was chosen to examine the turbine hydraulic system because two important turbine protective features use hydraulic pressure to function: the blade pitching system, and the brake. The objective of the FMEA was to determine if the two safety features have a likely common failure point, or if the safety systems can be individually credited for protection of the turbine.
