This May, Mechmine is twice present in scientific journals concerned with renewable energy and hydro-power.
Mechmine talks about predictive maintenance and bearing- and gear-monitoring in particular in hydro plants. In the Alps, most power plants have roller or ball bearings and any time they stop producing energy they lose money. Moreover, with lead-times of up to 18 months for even simple bearings and electricity prices high, electricity producers should be alerted and want to avoid any unforeseen breakdown. However, one needs a cost effective solution, means good TCO (total cost of ownership), and it must be based on high-resolution data processing with advanced and automated vibration data analysis, otherwise maintenance staff spend too much time analysing data or faults are seen too late. There is only one solution!
ZEK Hydro - the popular Austrian journal in the DACH region about hydro-power presents a coverage about Mechmine from page 56.
Wasserkraft & Energie - a German magazine dedicated to renewables and energy published a technical essay from Mechmine on page 15.
