We’ve brought together owner/operators Eon, SSE, EDF Energy Renewables, Scottish Power Renewables, Centrica, Orsted, Vattenfall and innogy to focus on improving performance in operating and maintaining offshore wind farms.
The Operations and Maintenance (O&M Forum) is identifying areas where the participants can collaborate and innovate, sharing learning and best practice to improve performance and ultimately drive down industry costs.
The group has a unique remit to investigate the common issues that affect offshore wind farm performance and reliability, and to develop and test innovative potential solutions. They will look at areas such as blade erosion and cable damage and failure, which have been identified as common problems affecting almost all operational wind turbine generators in UK waters.
