Why O&M is big business for the US wind industry...

“Improving a hypothetical 100-megawatt (MW)

wind project’s O&M by 1% could be worth as much as $2 million in a project’s net present value”

Marty Crotty, President, AES Wind Generation [January, 2010]

A CHANGING DIRECTION FOR WIND

You don’t need to be told that the US wind industry is a big deal - the fact that the industry has employed 85,000 Americans, and reached a utility-scale wind capacity of 36,698 MW says it all. Wind is now one of the fastest growing forms of new electricity generation, accounting for roughly 40% of that added to the US electric grid. That figure is still set to rise with the industry still on track to add more than 165 GW of new capacity through 2025!

However, it’s not all good news. Following a record-breaking year of new wind capacity additions in 2009 the U.S. wind market confronted a growth-constrained 2010. Here are some of the facts:

• 1,634 MW of new capacity was installed in 2010 (lowest level since 2006)

• Without US renewable standards there is little room for expansion

• Wind turbine OEM warranty periods are coming to an end

• Few wind turbines are operating to their peak potential

• The overall cost of maintaining wind turbines can really dent your bottom line

With the amount of scepticism surrounding the growth of year on year turbine installations, it is vital that 2011 sees you turn your attention to the assets already in your portfolio, and understand:

• How to choose the right O&M strategy for your business

• What end of warranty inspection will cover ALL angles to save you time and money

• Who are doing what in terms of best practice approaches to turbine maintenance

• Which technologies are really justified in cost, and how to use them effectively

• How the quickening development of US offshore wind is going to impact turbine O&M

Turbine owners and operators have more choice than ever over the best way to organize post-warranty operations and maintenance. Operators need to weigh up the options of whether to stick with the OEM’s contract, sign a deal with third-party providers or manage operations and maintenance in-house.

“Excellent, we need to continue to

advance in information sharing for the benefit of our industry”

Todd Karasek, Suzlon Wind Energy Corp

GET THE INFORMATION YOU NEED FROM THE PEOPLE WITH REAL O&M EXPERIENCE

Attend the 3rd Annual US Wind Energy Operations and Maintenance Summit 2011 and you’ll hear the major players discuss and debate not only their O&M successes but also the downfalls and lessons they learnt – making sure you are fully equipped with all the knowledge you need to know for a post warranty landscape.

You’ll get insight from key players such as E.ON and Upwind as they discuss and appraise tried and tested end of warranty strategies. Also engage with companies such as Goldwind, Gamesa, Broadwind and PA Consulting as they give unique insight into the challenges and solutions to optimizing turbine performance.

Duke Energy and BP will be giving an in depth appraisal of best practice health & safety practice and training programmes, with Rev1 giving an unbiased talk on the economics of staffing for maintenance.

Hear from the likes of Horizon, enXco, GE and Make Consulting as they outline maintenance strategy and carefully formulated approaches to asset management, which will in turn be supported by discussions on condition monitoring and data interpretation from NextEra, AES, Duke Energy, M4 and the Centre for Systems Integrity.

This event has become a firm fixture in the US wind industry calendar and has been designed specifically so that you can both listen to and discuss the challenges you face directly with your peers. It gives you an exceptional opportunity to take away key strategies which will help you reduce your O&M costs and optimize your turbine performance.

“I was pleased to find that the speakers and panellists voiced different (even opposing) opinions,

making the content interesting and thought provoking. I also met several new contacts who were attending and learned much from them”

Geoirge Newton, Henkel

In order to cost effectively guarantee your turbines availability we at Wind Energy Update have handpicked only the most suitable and experienced individuals to provide the best solutions to your daily O&M challenges. You will leave this landmark event knowing how to:

1) Evaluate which O&M aftercare options are most suited to your particular assets

2) Exit your warranty smoothly knowing that you have covered everything on a WTG checklist

3) Stay in line with health & safety and operational regulations

4) Justify condition monitoring and interpret data

In short, you’ll walk away having examined every option available to you. Just check out some of the following highlights to see exactly what you’ll get from this critical 2 day event.

WIND DEVELOPERS, OPERATORS, OEMs, SERVICE PROVIDERS, TIER 1,

2 & 3 COMPONENT SUPPLIERS… THIS EVENT IS PERFECT FOR YOU ALL

We guarantee to deliver wind O&M strategies that will have a real and lasting impact on your business, big or small, giving you new, innovative and fresh ideas for the next 5 years.

Wind farm operators and asset managers will come away with only the best and most cost effective maintenance strategies to reduce costs and boost power production.
