Design and Engineering Services
Windforce specializes in retrofit solutions for controllers and reverse-engineering obsolete wind turbine components enabling long(er)-term operation of wind power projects. We have successfully installed new controllers on wind turbines originally installed in the 1990's.
Our capabilities include electronic, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and software, for a complete solution to virtually any problem on older wind energy assets.
