Wind Turbine: Part of Safety Equipment Testing
PTSG can undertake statutory testing and maintenance of safety equipment in wind turbines. We provide statutory inspection and maintenance services to owners and operators in the renewables industry and have vast experience in delivering works safety and efficiently to minimise operational downtime.
A wind turbine is an appliance that produces electrical energy using the kinetic energy of wind. There are hundreds of thousands of wind turbines operating across the UK. Between them, they produce a staggering 650 plus gigawatts of power every year. This alternative source of energy are becoming an important source of intermittent renewable energy. They have many benefits including helping to reduce energy costs and cut the use of fossil fuels – good news for the planet!
Wind turbines work by allowing wind to turn the blades of a turbine, turning them around a rotor which spins a generator. This creates electricity! Wind turbines can be used in several applications: land-based wind, offshore wind and distributed wind.
Land-based wind turbines offer a more cost-effective option and grouped together into wind farms, can produce bulk power for the electrical grid.
Offshore wind turbines are located out at sea and are much bigger than their land-based counterparts. They produce huge amounts of energy by harnessing the power of the sea winds.
Here at PTSG, we provide reliable statutory testing and maintenance of safety equipment. We also provide statutory inspection and maintenance services to owners and operators in the renewables industry and have vast experience in delivering works safety and efficiently to minimise operational downtime.
Since we began in 2007, PTSG has grown to become the UK’s leading provider of specialist building services across a range of market sectors.
