New on demand solution, blade counterweight tool for Haliade 150 Offshore

Haliade 150 Counterweight Tool 03 | Airpes

 

A brand new offshore project for Airpes

It is a pleasure to present you our latest on demand solution: an offshore project we are very proud of and that has been highly successful.

It’s the design, manufacturing and testing of a blade counterweight tool for Haliade 150 Offshore turbine.

The client needed a counterweight tool that would provide enough counterbalance torque to rotate the Haliade 150 wind turbine rotor with one or two blades.

A project designed with ALSTOM / GE

For this project we have worked coordinated with one of the main multinational companies on sustainable mobility and energy sector, ALSTOM/GE.

 

Blade counterweight tool to turn the Haliade 150 turbine

The counterweight tool is lifted by a crane and bolted to hub flange. The driving torque is provided by the counterweight located at the end of a boom.

The design of the counterweight tool takes into account the following:

  • Fulfillment of all specifications
  • Minimize shipment requirements and assembly time at site
  • Optimize the weight of parts and size of actuators
  • Cost reduction

The blade tool counterweight was manufactured in late 2015 and tested in our facilities in Sabadell, Barcelona, followed by the launch in Nantes, with huge success.
