Wind-powered electricity generation capacity grew rapidly over the last decade and will need to continue to grow to help meet future targets of the EU’s renewable energy directive. However, manufacturing quality issues of the gearing used in wind turbines limited overall reliability and, therefore, returns on investment. Manufacturers lacked processes for producing measurement standards for these large components, while written standards didn’t suit the complexities of measuring gear quality.
