Wind Turbine Lifetime Extension
KA-ENGROUP provides affordable fatigue and lifetime assessment for single or small groups of turbines. Keep your wind turbines running safely, efficiently, and profitably — without the cost of repowering.
- No site visit needed for initial screening
- Simple, affordable, and fast results
- Prevent unexpected failures and plan maintenance ahead
Why Lifetime Extension Matters?
Many small wind turbine owners — from farmers to local businesses and community groups — are reaching the end of their turbines’ 20–25-year design life. Replacing a turbine can be expensive and often unnecessary.
Our data-driven fatigue assessment helps you understand your turbine’s structural condition, so you can safely and cost-effectively extend its operating life.
Our Lifetime Extension Packages
Fast Turbine Health Check
Quick, data-driven fatigue assessment using your turbine’s SCADA data. We analyse wind speed, power output, and operating loads to estimate service life.
Detailed Lifetime Assessment
If your initial check shows signs of fatigue, we can perform a deeper analysis using advanced simulation models to verify structural life of your turbine.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
We can monitor your turbine annually, using new SCADA data to track fatigue and performance over time and provide all necessary support to extend lifetime.
