Extensive refurbishments of the DkIT wind turbine have taken place and included the replacement of the turbine's gearbox. The recent upgrade is expected to secure an additional 10 years of operation for the turbine. The 859 kW turbine has been in operation since October 2005 and powers approximately one third of the campus' total electricity consumption.

@@michelbaguette3106, wind turbines cannot be considered as a substitute for nuclear power unless cold thermonuclear synthesis comes true. So there is no point to compare them at all as wind power is not capable to continuously produce enough electricity to maintain steady economical growth of a modern country. There is no replacement for nuclear power available so far. All these talks against nuclear power heard here and there are just dirty games of any kind of left-ish political crooks who manipulate the ignorant minds of their electorate . The fact is that the contemporary nuclear power technology is the most cleanest yet natural environment friendly in comparison with the others. The cause of Chernobyl disaster was just a result of isolated anti-human Soviet regime where people's lives were valued about zero.

Great tour! I worked for five years mainly servicing Vestas V-39's bought used from Ireland. I was on the commissioning crew and we replaced VERY OLD Win-Dane 500 kw units using adapter plates! Shocked at the hydro station location! Tough as hell replacing the pump inside the tank on any day but that hub-end location would really suck considering it's a two-man repair. Loved seeing how similar our V-39's were to your model. We also had 2 new V-90's! Those were nice! Location is Palm Springs, California where the industry goes back to the eighties.

What a glider! How over engineered can you make it? Was it a "euro design?" I had several grabs for wire and regular rope, one for a single tower! My fav was one that you cocked it horizontal, then placed on cable, then twisted 90 degrees, then clipped a carabineer through the hole! Slick and fast and was used often in dark towers by feel alone.
