Conference

The focal topics of the VGB conference "Maintenance of Wind Power Plants" will deal with the reduction of installation and operating costs of wind power plants as well as with the enhancement of operational safety and reliability. The consistent further development of system technology, in particular the optimisation of maintenance strategies will play a decisive role in the future in order to increase technical availability and thus economic efficiency of the appropriate systems.

O&M concepts will be presented from the manufacturer's, the independent service provider's, and the owner's points of view followed by panel discussions. Different tools to optimise the output of wind power plants will be presented using digital models as well as the combination with storage technologies.

The conference will mainly highlight the following topics:

  • O&M concepts
  • Bolt connections
  • Wind farm optimisation
  • Digitalisation
  • Ice detection
  • Hybrid systems

The programme will leave enough time for extensive discussions and answering your questions.

The conference addresses operators of wind power plants and all persons and institutions that are directly or indirectly involved in the installation or operation of wind power plants.
