Lessons learned
- After a reported blade failure, keep the turbine out of service until the failure and any debris risk have been assessed.
- Check whether other turbines on the site use the same blade type before returning them to normal operation.
- Pass what is known to the turbine supplier so a repeat failure can be identified.
