RAPID DEVELOPMENT AND INCREASE OF COMPLEXITY OF WIND TURBINES REQUIRES SPECIALISTS
Challenges and possible consequences

OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT OF WIND FARMS IS IMPORTANT FROM THE BEGINNING AND GETS CRITICAL AFTER 5 YEARSHow to master the challenges
Mandate constant monitoring by experienced specialists Check clauses of operational contracts Comission inspections at least every 2 years of operationConsider to mandate inspections one year prior to end of garantee or full maintenance contract to make demands in timeCheck insurance protection and if necessary adjust to close gaps
Monitoring, inspections and maintenance are
indispensable in order to continuously achieve
maximum electricity yields regular

FOR SUCCESSFUL MONITORING INTERPLAY BETWEEN KNOW HOW, NETWORK AND EFFICIENT IT SYSTEMS IS CRITICALSuccess Factors of Monitoring
• Stable and integrated IT systems
• Infrastructure needs for data storage and access
• Regular contact to manufacturers, suppliers, operators and service providers and exchange
• Experience with wind farms
• Qualification and regular training of personnel

MONITORING CAN COMPLEMENT EXISTING FULL-SERVICE CONTRACT OR REPLACE OPERATIONS
Monitoring tasks of ISP by maintenance scenario
• Take care of daily operations
• Supervise basic maintenance
• Commission preventive
measures and repairs as required
Basic Maintenance + Operations by ISP
• Check the execution of the service
provider on a daily basis
• Recalculate availability
• Close „gaps“, if any
Full Maintenance + Monitoring by ISP
• Can be implemented at any
moment
• Right from the beginning
• Upon end of guarantee period
• Upon end of full-service period
