Session description Within the offshore wind business, an increased focus on reducing CoE and improving profitability has resulted in different approaches to decreasing operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Understanding the environmental conditions under which such activities are performed, choosing the right service setup and service scheme given the individual site and a thorough knowledge of the wind turbines are keys to success. With wind farms being developed farther and farther offshore, the focus on O&M is growing. This session will elaborate on measures to bring O&M activities and costs under control, to the benefit of current and future wind farms. |
