PSI Repair Services to Showcase Off-Warranty Repair Support for Wind Turbines at CANWEA 2011

Livonia, Michigan – PSI Repair Services, Inc., the world's leading independent repair company for electronics, hydraulics and precision mechanical assemblies, will showcase its off-warranty repair support for wind energy operations and maintenance (O&M) professionals at the CANWEA 2011 Annual Conference and Exhibition.

According to an October 2010 iNews Connect article by Gillian Moore, 79% of wind turbines are set to move out of warranty in less than five years. With wind energy clearly not having any dependence on fuel costs, a robust, repeatable and cost effective O&M strategy can have an immediate impact on an operator’s bottom line.

PSI Repair Services, a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, offers fast, affordable repairs for out-of-warranty electronic and mechanical wind turbine components from all the major manufacturers, including General Electric, Vestas, Zond, Neg Micon and many others. Components repaired include printed circuit boards, PLCs, control cards, VRCC components, IGBTs, thyristors, hub converters, pitch motors, hydraulic pumps, servo motors, transducers and much more. All repairs come with a free evaluation and one-year warranty.

Additionally, PSI Repair Services offers industry-leading engineering services that can enhance the performance of new and old wind turbine components alike with superior, more efficient technology. For unsalvageable parts, PSI offers state-of-the-art remanufacturing services.

“PSI Repair Services is committed to supporting alternative energy initiatives,” said Mike Fitzpatrick, General Manager of PSI Repair Services. “Our custom test program identifies component failures down to the microchip level on wind turbine electronics. It even detects which components are likely to fail in the near future, which saves time and money.”

The 2011 CANWEA Conference and Exhibition will be held October 3-6 at the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia. PSI Repair Services will exhibit in booth 1336.

According to a March 2010 Wind Systems Magazine article titled “Maintenance,” by the end of 2010, for the first time in U.S. history, more wind turbines will be operating out of warranty than will be covered. This trend will continue through the decade, causing maintenance and repair to become larger issues for project owners.

PSI Repair Services offers fast, affordable repairs for electronic and mechanical wind turbine components from all the major manufacturers, including Vestas, General Electric and Cotas. Components repaired include printed circuit boards, PLCs, controls, VRCC units, hydraulic pumps, servo motors, transducers and much more. All repairs come with a free evaluation and one-year warranty.

In addition, PSI Repair Services provides O&M professionals with the option to remanufacture obsolete components so they can get their wind turbines back up and running again at peak performance as quickly as possible.

“PSI Repair Services is proud to contribute to the wind energy movement by reducing O&M costs,” said Mike Fitzpatrick, general manager of PSI Repair Services. “Repairing wind turbine components, versus replacing them with new parts, can decrease maintenance costs by as much as 70 percent, not to mention the reduction in carbon footprint to the environment.”
