The Datum Dynamic Torque, Shaft Bending and Power Monitoring System provides another layer of data and in many cases, can detect potential changes and hence failures faster than the static system. When the rotary dynamic data is used in conjunction with the static data even more benefits are derived. The torsional data can be used as both a control input to improve efficiency and a condition monitoring input to predict failures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Features<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Accurate Power Measurement Data<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Dynamic Torsional Data<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Dynamic Shaft Bending Data option<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">100% Contactless<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Easy to Install: Either by our own field engineers or we can provide training<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Modular Design (can fit any wind turbine shaft)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">High Instrumentation Accuracy and repeatability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Robust Design: IP68<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Efficient Power Usage (compared to other systems)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Maintenance Free<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">No Re-Calibration<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Multiple Digital &amp; Analogue Outputs: RS485, Rs232, Modbus, Ethernet, 0-10V, 4-20mA<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Short Lead Times<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Local USB Logging port for additional engineer Analysis<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">Data Integration with Higher-Level Systems<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><font size=\"4\">The Datum system can be installed in a less than a day, on any drive shaft which has a clear length of over 150mm.

The gearbox connects the low-speed shaft to the high-speed shaft, increasing the rotational speed by about 100-200 times. \u00a0Gearbox repair downtime is relatively high, especially for offshore wind turbines, which is due to the accessibility and availability being restricted by distance to the shore, weather windows and environmental conditions. Additionally, a new gearbox costs around \u00a3140,000, with a long delivery time (~6 months), not including the cost of its transportation, installation and the cost of the wind turbine being out of order for the duration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Datum\u2019s Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring System is suitable for both offshore and onshore wind turbines.
