What to gain from the whitepaper?
Whitepaper highlights:
A sophisticated O&M approach is crucial to manage the risks posed by larger turbines and maintain critical components like foundations, substations, and cables.
Tailored strategies are needed for aging offshore wind assets, especially those over a decade old, as their numbers are set to triple in the next four years.
Proactive O&M planning should start even before commissioning to ensure a seamless transition from construction to operation.
O&M plans must be adapted to regional conditions, considering local challenges, climate, and supply chain constraints.
