How Wind Power Operations & Maintenance
turns into a modern industry
Smoothly functioning operations
and maintenance processes will
help sustain your investment -
every day for many years to come.
The operation and maintenance of wind
power facilities is developing into a modern
industry, and the wind power owners must
make many choices concerning operations
and maintenance:
How blade maintenance is performed and
•
when is it profi table to do this on your own?
How to choose, analyze and inspect
•
lubricants?
In which maintenance system should you
•
invest?
Which spare parts should you have in
•
storage?
How could the wind power owner build up
•
their own service organizations?
Each choice creates a new business model
and new risks, but no matter how or what
you choose, the wind power owners must
have total control in order to make the
cor-rect choices and follow them up,
particu-larly in an immature industry going through
strong expansion.
From May 25-27, 2010 in Stockholm, we
will address all of these issues with practical
examples from fi ve countries:
Ulla Pettersson, E for Energy

several European Wind Power conferences
gives you insight in the benefi ts and
challenges with different service providers
for O&M in the wind industry

•
Vindmølleforening describes how blade
maintenance is performed and when is it
profi table to do this on your own
Bent Johansen, Head of Generation
•
Denmark, Vattenfall Vindkraft gives an
introduction and debates how the wind
power owner could build up their own
service organizations
Don’t miss our Full day workshop on May
27th, when Strange Skriver from Danmarks
Vindmølleforening will go over the means
of operating a proactive and preventive
gearbox maintenance program that will help
avoid expensive stoppages.

Full Day Workshop - Thursday, May 27th
Full day Workshop
The gearbox is the component that
causes the longest down time, and
so, from an operations or
mainte-nance perspective, it is the most
signifi cant component. The costs
related to gearbox damage or
dys-function are also quite signifi cant.
However, a one day journey through
the inspection and maintenance of
gearboxes will give you a greater
understanding of:
Different wind power plants and gearbox
•
models
How the gearbox at a wind power plant
•
works
Gearbox maintenance - what do typical
•
service procedures look like?
The parameters of the control system that
•
are related to the gearbox
Condition-based maintenance of the drive
•
line
How can you extend the life-span of the
•
gearbox?
How can you check the status of the gearbox
•
and what tools are there to do so?
Cooling systems and where faults may occur
•
Introducing new technology to older systems
•
Factory guarantees - when does the
•
guarantee take effect?
