Abstract

As a common quality management tool, 8D method is often used in the research of quality related problems of wind turbines. In the post-market service of wind power, it is often faced with low operating efficiency of old units, insufficient power generation and various quality problems. The causes of quality problems in wind turbines are usually multifaceted, involving components such as blades, impellers, and motors. In addition to the large components of the wind turbine itself, extreme weather and natural disasters such as snow, frost, wind and sand will also cause damage to the wind turbine, resulting in various quality problems. When the wind turbine quality problems, the unit's operating efficiency and power generation will be greatly reduced, the loss of power generation will be greatly increased. At this time, it is necessary to apply the 8D method to diagnose and sort out the problem solving process of wind turbines. In this paper, 8D method is applied to solve the problems of low operating efficiency and insufficient power generation of wind turbines, and finally the role and position of 8D method in solving the problem of wind turbine quality are clarified.
