GEV Wind Power, one of Europe’s leading maintenance companies in the wind energy sector, will be exhibiting its cutting edge advancements in turbine blade maintenance at EWEA Offshore in Copenhagen on 10-12th March 2015.
GEV’s innovative Habitat represents a major milestone in the maintenance of remote wind turbines, enabling engineers to complete essential works in a weather-protected environment. Whilst the simultaneous launch of a camera-based blade inspection service and GEV’s own cloud based resource planning tool will help to further reduce operating costs.
The Habitat is expected to save the wind energy sector between three and five lost days in each maintenance season. It will also allow for work to continue beyond the standard May-October cycle, potentially returning a minimum of 1-2% increase in annual energy production.
Working collaboratively with Technology Partner Cornis, GEV is already offering clients the Panoblade Inspection System that rapidly captures images of an entire turbine blade surface.
Projects Director Alastair Gadney comments: “We recognised the cost effective and simple advantages of utilising the remote blade inspection system. With only one operator required to inspect up to five onshore turbines per day or three offshore turbines, this system will offer exceptional savings in both time and money.”
To further drive down operating costs within the industry, GEV Wind Power has launched its own Blade ERP a tablet device that captures real-time activity to enable efficient data capture, reporting and invoicing.
Alastair added: “The fundamental advantage of the GEV Blade ERP is that it provides near real-time reporting on each maintenance job, thereby boosting efficiency and minimising errors generated during the manual processing of reports and invoices. Together with our Blade Habitat and remote blade inspection our aim is to continually bring innovation into the wind industry to play our part in driving down the cost of energy. ”
GEV Wind Power is also the first contractor to be trained by BASF with the BASF RELEST® leading edge protection system. Wind turbine rotor blades are vulnerable to extreme erosion from the effects of wind, rain, snow, sand and UV radiation. RELEST Wind LEP is a protective two-part paint technology offering four times higher resistance than conventional solutions.
He continues: “Being part of the solution to this emerging issue was important to GEV and in the BASF RELEST we identified an effective market ready product. Erosion is going to become more and more important to wind farm operators and here again GEV Wind Power is at the very front of O&M providers. ”
