Advice & next steps

What should you do to get all the benefits?

• Write RDS-PP® intoyour turbine supply contracts

• Force your developers to use it fromday zero of the wind farm planning

• Force your service people to use it for allequipment identification and work done

• Invest in local 2D data matrix labeling

• Use an O&M software,which supports RDS-PP®

• Engage in RDS-PP® user groupslike FTUG or VGB

… just require everybody involved in yourO&M to use it. It will work!

� Talk digitally to your OEM, service provider,inspectors, from your data base directlyinto a work instruction, in real-time

� Work on important analysis instead oftransferring handscribbled service reportsinto your O&M software

� Be sure that the guy in the turbine isindeed switching the right breaker

� Make cross-OEM analysis of whichsystem really causes the highest overalloutage cost and adjust your O&M strategy

� Share your (anonymized) data withother operators at Fraunhofer IWESWinD-Pool to get up-to-date benchmarkreports

� Import ready-off-the-shelf WTGstructures from FGW into your data base– no own efforts required

� Relate and find all your documentseasily, for any engineering discipline

� Sell your & buy other people’s windfarms and use their historical data andwind farm structure right away

� Up in the nacelle find cable andbreaker of the broken gear oil pumpwithout searching pages of documentation

� Ensure compliance with state-of-the-artstandards and be audit-safe

� Use known power plant 2nd generationsoftware to identify your sickcomponents before they tell you theywon’t work

With this language (= designation system) you could

All this alone should alreadymotivate you to implement it.

But there are evenmore benefits !!

RDS-PP main features

This „language“ is called RDS-PP,Reference Designation System for Power Plants,and has lot of excellent features:

• It’s based on the highest levelinternational standards(IEC 81346-2 and ISO 16952-10)

• You can use it from the design stagethrough the whole plant life cycle

• It has been developed over 40 years byspecialists from the power industry,it really fits

• There are excellent applicationguidelines available:VGB-823-32 and VGB-823-01

• The integration into the standard forwind energy communicationIEC 61400-25 is already ongoing

• A large number of EU offshore windfarms already uses this system

… You will be not alone in applying it!
