Wind Turbine Case Study: ShockLog 298 Industry: Power Generation Application: Windfarm Logistics/Windfarm Installation Challenge: The 400MW Trianel Windpark Borkum (TWB) is being built 250 miles/402 km offshore the Borkum island in the North Sea. Spread over 21 square miles, it is the first fully large-scale municipal offshore project in Europe; including 80 wind turbines. To prevent the costs associated with installation of a damaged turbine, TWB needed to understand what types of events would cause damage to their wind turbines and then monitor for those events. Solution: TWB selected the ShockLog 298 impact recorder for its ability to record direction, amplitude, and duration of impact forces. TWB determined that low frequency impacts (duration > 50 milliseconds) would be
