The upgrade kit includes the necessary protection MCB’s, auxiliary contact blocks, cable assemblies and full work instructions for installation by a GE Vernova trained service engineer.

The cooling fan protection upgrade requires minimum installation time as well as no special tool requirements.

• Fan isolation – During fan failure, the failed fan is isolated, and the remaining fans will operate.
• Activated warning – Sent to the converter controller highlighting a fan has failed and has shut down.
• Warning alarm – Alarm trigger by the cooling upgrade kit.
• Helps turbine to keep running – Reduces unplanned downtime due to single fan failures.
• Perform planned maintenance – Cooling upgrade kit helps to replace the failed fan during scheduled maintenance. The replacement can be planned at a convenient time by the wind farm operator.
• Low risk fit form and function replacement
• Greater protection from external influences
• Reduced heat build-up
• Helps converter to keep running in case of single fan failures

In addition to the fan upgrade kit, GE Vernova has developed a new enhanced cooling fan with hybrid bearing system, which protects from external influences, avoiding bearing currents.

Our Digital Suite –clever software application can offer insights into your equipment providing follow up drive behavior by measuring and analyzing the condition of your drives on-site.

Our Digital suite consists of two core elements –Visor Remote Monitoring and Asset Performance Management (APM).

• Simplified commissioning and maintenance by using HPCi/PECe architecture with standard software function blocks.
• Scalable performance, easy upgrade and future proof modular configuration.
• Modern control system with fast network access and enhanced security features.
• Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics capability via digital suite solution, enabling remote service support and providing automatic drive trip notification and trip history upload to the Visor Service Portal.
• Adaptability to new regulation (Grid code) through software.
• Reduced spares through modular control hardware configuration enabling application for a large range of drives.
• Total life cycle care through GE Vernova global expert network.
