Wind Turbine Generator Services

We offer a range of wind turbine generator diagnostic, monitoring, repair and life extension services, ensuring generators remain efficient and reliable.

Whether the power you generate is used on-site or feeds into the grid, the cost of generator downtime is more than just repair fees. Every day counts when it comes to lost income, and, if you use the energy you generate on site, you may be paying much higher prices for additional electricity supply costs to compensate for the lack of on-site generation.

We recognise how important it is to get generators back up and running quickly and cost-effectively. In many instances Houghton International can offer generator rewinds at significantly shorter lead times than OEM repair or replacement options, and payback periods for a generator rewind may be as short as 3-6 months.

Our services cover all wind generators, onshore and offshore and range from standard maintenance and overhauls to reverse engineering, life extension and performance upgrades. With 40 tonne craneage and 13m working height we are well equipped to handle even large offshore and direct drive generators.

Our wind turbine generator services include:

Generator repair and overhaul
Generator stator and rotor rewinds
Upgrade and life extension
Testing and diagnostics, including winding analysis, vibration analysis, thermal imaging and laser alignment
Direct drive generator services
Scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs
Generator storage

Independent of OEMs, but a service provider to many, we work flexibly with customers to solve problems and improve performance in a safe and cost-effective way. We will always aim to provide the most appropriate solution based on customer needs and the asset’s operating conditions.

With extensive 3D CAD and reverse engineering expertise in-house, Houghton International can help address obsolescence, reduce lead times for repairs and parts, and improve performance.

Generator Repair & Maintenance Services

As a community energy group, we have invested significant time, effort and funds into our wind turbine project so when it came to repairs it was particularly important to us to find a repairer that could offer the highest quality of service. From our first contact with Houghton International, we were impressed by their professionalism, enthusiasm and support for the project. Not only did they have the facilities to accommodate a project of this size, but they also gave us full confidence in their experience and technical expertise.
Having recently reinstalled the generator, initial impressions are that it is generating exceedingly well and we are optimistic it will meet our most ambitious projections for power generation. As a result of the comprehensive and diligent work carried out, we effectively have a brand new turbine in operation and we have every confidence that it will meet its 20 year lifespan expectation.
