Solution
- The tower and blades of wind turbine generators are exposed to nature like rain, storm, and cyclones.
- Each wind turbine has an electric generator. So every generator needs to be maintained.
- Each blade of a wind turbine is very long the average diameter of a wind turbine is about 125 meters. So, even if one of the blades is damaged the cost of repairing it is high.
- The maintenance of the windmill is done at top of the tower this makes the working environment dangerous, so well-trained technicians need to be employed which makes it costly.
