MECAL is proud to invite you to visit us at the EWEA 2011 in Brussels, 14-17 March 2011 (Booth 11416)
‘The EWEA Annual Event – formerly known as EWEC is Europe’s premier wind energy event.
With a unique combination of a comprehensive conference programme and a first-class exhibition, the EWEA Annual Event is recognised as a 'must attend event' among the international wind community.
The 2011 edition will break all records with over 10,000 wind energy professionals from over 60 countries.’

to set up a meeting during the EWEA 2011.
Technical Operations Support
MECAL Wind Farm Services successfully provides “Technical Operations Support” for Raedthuys, the largest IPPs in the Netherlands.
The service consists out of SCADA data monitoring and wind turbine inspections. The monitoring is performed on a daily basis and focuses on finding trend in the available data in the turbine.
The SCADA monitoring is combined with yearly gearbox and wind turbine inspections providing a clear status of the maintenance level and the overall quality of the gearbox. By combining these services MECAL is able to provide Raedthuys with more precise information on possible future failures early, enabling preventive maintenance and therefore prevent a total loss of the specific part.
By providing this system to Raedthuys they are able to manage their contractors more closely and gain more yield out of their wind farms.

Operators nowadays are always looking to improve and optimize the performance from their wind farms. To start improving the wind farm one of the dominant tools in knowing what is actually happening inside the turbines. Starting to monitor the actual performance beyond the power output and wind together with regular presence inside the turbine is where one can early identify potential damages and avoid down time.
SCADA monitoring or performance monitoring is performed on a daily basis and focuses on finding trend in the available data in the turbine. In an average turbine there are around 50 sensors available providing operational data that is used for the actual turbine operations. Possible dangerous trends are presented in cases including trend figures and possible solutions comparable with the OEM internal systems.
Roof Turbines Dynamic Analysis at Rabobank, Alkmaar
MECAL has recently completed a vibration and noise impact assessment for the proposed roof turbines at the new Rabobank building in Alkmaar on behalf of the contractor Bouwbedrijf M.J. de Nijs en Zonen B.V. The scope included analysis of the Dynamic Performance of the WTGs to identify the impact of 4no. 10kW Fortis Alize WTG on the Building and the Design of a support structure and associated connections to minimise impact and facilitate erection of WTGs. MECAL looked at numerous design options and simulated the effects of each scenario before recommending the optimum solution to the client.
MECAL’s design work was completed in November 2010 and MECAL will provide additional consultancy and construction monitoring services in the coming months. It is anticipated that the wind turbines will be operational in Sep/Oct 2011.
Thank you for your visit at our stand at RenewableUK 2010
Thank you for visiting us at RenewableUK 2010.
The annual conference and exhibition for the UK wind industry was held for the 32nd time this year. MECAL was proud to attend the conference and to display at the exhibition.
We enjoyed meeting our relations and discussing industry developments.
‘Over 5,750 people attended RenewableUK's and over 300 companies active in UK wind and marine energy sectors were on display at the exhibition”.
