Renewable Energy

Vibremo provide vibration investigation services to the renewable energy sector. Our team of engineers is committed to supporting green industries by helping to improve the efficiency of industrial machinery used to produce clean energy, reducing down time and increasing machine lifespan.

Renewable energy is derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed – the main sources being sunlight, wind and water. Clean energy development is vital for combating climate change and is at the centre of the transition to less carbon-intensive and more sustainable energy systems.

Producers of renewable energy make use of rotating machinery, which has the potential to produce unwanted vibration. The resulting disturbances can often lead to a reduction in productivity and equipment lifespan. In the worst cases, it can also affect nearby sensitive machinery, impact the health and safety of workers and even damage building structures.

Vibremo vibration consultants have extensive experience in preventing unwanted vibration and degradation of industrial machinery. Typical applications involve steam turbines, centrifuges, pumps and compressors.

On site measurements can help to determine if isolation systems are needed to reduce excessive vibration propagation to the surroundings. If problems are internal to the machine, defective components and weaknesses of the machine structure can be identified and recommendations given to mitigate them.
