WIND CONTINUES TO DOMINATEHE RENEWABLE ENERGY SPACE
nd power in North America is on the up act!
eres no doubt its leading the way in the
pid growth o renewable energy in the global
lity generation mix.America is number one
terms o total global wind generation and
r the 4th year running in the US the wind
dustry has been second only to natural
as or installed capacity. The AWEA recently
ported that in the third quarter o 2009 (despite
e economic recession) the industry added
649 MW o new capacity bringing the total now
ded to over 5,800 MW (higher than either the
d quarter o 2009 or the 3rd quarter o 2008),
d over 31,000 MW in all.
o, theres a huge emphasis on putting
e turbines up but maintaining them is
ortunately another story. The O&M industry
at has sprung up to keep the blades turning
hen the winds blowing has traditionally been
t to one side but this is now changing O&M
now big business and over the next 5 years it
the glue that must hold together the continued
owth o the US wind industry.
HY WORRY ABOUT O&M?
ere are three main things that we are all aware
in relation to the operation and maintenance o
wind arm:Few wind turbines are operating to their
peak potential
The overall cost o maintaining wind
turbines is VAST
Loss o revenue through shutting them
down or maintenance work can potentially
be even greater
e also know that the challenges and
pportunities in ongoing maintenance are
ways changing and that technology continues
get better and more efcient. So, I ask you
ow much do you really know about:
What O&M opportunities are open to you
and how do you evaluate which is most
suited or your needs?
How to have 100% confdence in the
companies and people you hire and use or
O&M?
The latest and best maintenance strategies
to reduce costs and improve availability?
Regulations that apply to the wind industry
and your O&M strategy in particular?
New developments in R&D to reduce
downtime, optimise perormance and see
real ROI?
Only by addressing these issues now and
combining them with your business plans and sta
training will you get the competitive edge over
your peers and increase the profts you make
through 2010 and beyond.
