The changing role of operators
For wind turbine operators, the increasing demand for renewable energy and rising labor and equipment costs highlight the shortcomings of the traditional full scope operation & maintenance (O&M) strategies.
The statistics are alarming: 65% (1) of O&M costs are unexpected, disrupting schedules and supply chains. Rotor blade maintenance alone consumes 22% (2) of turbine costs, and blade and drivetrain failures account for 80% (3) of these unplanned expenses.
