Maintenance of Wind Power Plants
Conference Language: English
The main topics of the VGB WEBINAR "Maintenance of Wind Power Plants" will deal with the reduction of installation and operating costs of wind power plants. 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.
Wind turbines are usually designed for 20 years of operation. For many wind turbines it‘s technically possible to continue operating beyond the design lifetime. The associated challenges and possibilities will be presented by different market players. Several presentations will focus on operational optimisation measures of wind power plants and wind farms.
The conference will mainly highlight the following topics:
- Life Time Extension
- Service Optimization / Digitalization
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.
We would be very pleased to welcome you to our WEBINAR in order to optimise the operation of wind power plants together with you.
