17 Conclusion The logbook shows that the turbine and the transformer have been maintained on a regular basis, according to the maintenance schedule of Vestas. The gearbox has been exchanged in 2011 and the generator in 2009. The RCC and the generator bearings have been replaced in 2015. Despite the blade maintenance/repair in 2015, there is loose tape visible at the tip of the blades. The overall condition of the turbine is quite acceptable for a thirteen year old turbine. There are however several issues (marked as nok in this report) present and it is recommended to solve these, in order to improve the condition of the turbine. D. Lagerweij 09-11-2015 TeSuCon B.V.
