9.0 Wind Turbine Operation | 80 |
9.3.6Speed Sensor Signal Test
1.Perform a rotor jog.
2.Measure the output voltage from the frequency to voltage converter. It should be approximately 3.75 VDC (50 Hz) or 4.5 VDC (60 Hz).
9.3.7Normal Start-up/Shut-down Test
1.In 5.4 - 9 m/s (12 - 20 mph) winds, turn the turbine switch to ON.
2.The rotor should accelerate and the main contactor should close.
3.Turn the turbine switch to OFF.
4.When the tip brakes release, the turbine should come to a complete stop and
9.3.8Emergency Shut down Test
1.In 5.4 - 9 m/s (12 - 20 mph) winds, turn the turbine switch to ON.
2.The rotor should accelerate and the main contactor should close.
3.Depress the emergency stop button.
4.When the tip brakes release, the turbine should come to a complete stop and
9.3.9Low Wind Shut Down Test
1.In 5.4 - 9 m/s (12 - 20 mph) winds, turn the turbine switch to ON.
2.The rotor should accelerate and the main contactor should close.
3.Observe shut down when wind speeds fall below 5.4 m/s (12 mph). If necessary, an AOC representative can simulate low wind speed electronically.
4.The tip brakes should release and the wind turbine should come to a complete stop and
9.4Environmental Considerations
The following sections identify environmental considerations associated with the operation and maintenance of the AOC 15/50.
9.4.1 Corrosion
The primary source of corrosion is salt air, which is prevalent in marine environments and is particularly critical when combined with warm temperatures. A secondary source of corrosion, with more subtle symptoms, consists of airborne pollution, such as acid rain and industrial pollutants.
