Abstract: A device may receive historical operational data for a mechanical system, such as a rotor blade of a wind turbine. The device may determine one or more quality grades for each of one or more materials of the system, e.g., the rotor blade. The one or more quality grades may be determined by using a data model to process the historical operational data. The data model may be trained using machine learning based on one or both of historical operational data for similar systems, e.g., other rotor blades, and end-of-life (EOL) testing data for the same. The device may determine a recycling recommendation based on the one or more quality grades. The recycling recommendation may include instructions relating to recycling the one or more materials. The device may deliver the recycling recommendation to another device or recipient.

Abstract: A wind turbine nacelle configured for mounting on a wind turbine tower and for supporting a rotor-supporting assembly, the nacelle comprising a main unit, and at least two auxiliary units. To increase flexibility and improve assembly and maintenance procedures of the wind turbine, the auxiliary unit comprises at least two auxiliary units each accommodating at least one wind turbine component, e.g. a converter or a transformer. The auxiliary units are attached individually to the same wall of the main unit, e.g. to a side wall or a rear wall.

Abstract: A first aspect of the invention provides a method of testing a yaw system (200) of a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising a rotor; the yaw system (200) comprising a yaw gear (202) coupled to the rotor so that rotation of the yaw gear (202) causes yaw rotation of the rotor, and first and second sub-systems (204a, 204b), the first sub-system (204a) comprising a first pinion gear (206a) and a first drive motor (208a) coupled to the yaw gear (202) by the first pinion gear (206a), the second sub-system (204b) comprising a second pinion gear (206b) and a second drive motor (208b) coupled to the yaw gear (202) by the second pinion gear (206b). The method comprises the steps of: testing the first sub-system (204a) by: applying a first yaw moment to the yaw gear (202) with the second drive motor (208b) via the second pinion gear (206b), reacting the first yaw moment with the first pinion gear (206a), monitoring a yaw motion parameter indicative of rotation of the yaw gear (202), and determining a condition of the first sub-system (204a) based on the monitored yaw motion parameter.
