Woodstock, Minn.-based Juhl Wind Inc. and Honeywell International will take part in a U.S. Department of Energy project to test the application of an advanced condition monitoring system to provide remotely controlled data monitoring for turbine maintenance.
Within the project, Honeywell will be providing technology that is designed to improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs of turbine systems, and Juhl will be providing the field application, installation, monitoring and support.
‘If we can find a reliable technology, like Honeywell's condition monitoring system, our maintenance business will be much more competitive, while we also improve the level of reliability we provide our wind farm owners,’ says Dan Juhl, CEO of Juhl Wind.
