Romax TECHNOLOGY InSight Service Datasheet InSight Services Inspection Offerings Failure Root Cause Analysis Romax root cause analysis will identify the failure and the various modes of failure. Each contributor to the eventual failure are identified and rectified to provide a reliable, functioning drivetrain. Using a combination of physical inspections (including onsite endoscope inspections, lubrication analysis and offsite teardown analysis), extensive engineering experience (bearing, drivetrain and metallurgical experts) and the world leading RomaxDESIGNER simulation software, the Romax root cause analysis reports not only tell you what went wrong, but also how to fix it and to stop it happening again. This is our core strength. Our failure analysis expertise covers all aspects of rotating machinery, including: • Gearbox • Main bearings • Couplings • Mounts • Generator mechanical components • Lubrication and cooling systems • Pitch and yaw systems Romax’s core strength is our ability to highlight the reason for failure, advise you on how to fix it and tell you how you can stop it happening again.

Example service scopeProjects vary wildly depending on objective, but every failure root cause analysis report culminates with Romax’s unique ability to report and recommend remedial and mitigating action:
1. INSPECTION In turbine inspection via endoscope, oil, grease or other relevant analysis methods
2. TEAR DOWN Failed components dismantled, inspected and assessed in the workshop. Metallurgical analysis conducted where appropriate
3. DATA ANALYSIS Existing CMS, SCADA, maintenance and manufacturing data is analysed to identify critical trends
4. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Information gathered is analysed against Romax’s extensive global database in order to identify future potential trends
5. VIRTUAL SIMULATION A RomaxDESIGNER virtual model is be created and analysed in order to verify previous findings
6. ACTIONABLE REPORT The comprehensive report will tell you what went wrong, if it is likely to happen again, how you can fix it and how you can mitigate future risk.
Who we areTo allow for a true understanding of wind turbine failures you first need to understand the functionality of the whole turbine drivetrain.
