RE-POWERING
RE-POWERING OLD SYSTEMS – A HOLISTIC VIEW
Dismantling is crucial to carrying out the project successfully and comprises a wide range of tasks
Without a doubt, the entire area of replanning and approval is one of the largest and most tedious. In addition, the developer also has to take care of dismantling, road construction, the grid connection, construction work on the new turbines as well as commissioning. Coordinating all of these tasks so that there are no delays is a big challenge. The work required to dismantle old systems is often underestimated in the overall plan and sometimes it is even taken lightly.
CRUCIAL However, precisely this part of the project can be crucial. “We are increasingly seeing that the dismantling phase is not realistically calculated in new projects,” explained Lars Vogler, Project Manager at Deutsche Windtechnik Repowering. “Project phases need to mesh like gears.”
RELIABLE PARTNER FOR DISMANTLING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Often, the new and the old turbine cannot remain together because they would get in each other’s way. It can also happen that the new turbine is to be installed in exactly the same spot as the old one. To prevent costly delays, operators and planners should look for a competent partner for dismantling and project management.
Deutsche Windtechnik professionally handles all necessary services, ranging from dismantling to the sale of the old system. “We always take a holistic view of a re-powering project, even if we are only responsible for a small part. We place great emphasis on communication and consultation with the people responsible for other parts of the project. This takes a burden off of the client and saves money,” Lars continued.
The company assumes full responsibility for old turbines throughout the entire course of the project and this allows them to work smoothly and efficiently,
particularly where our work interfaces with other parts of the project.
PARTICIPATION OF THE WHOLE GROUP PROVIDES ADDED VALUE One big advantage is their ability to get re-powering specialists from the entire Deutsche Windtechnik Group involved. “We systematically utilise the expertise of the entire corporate group and this enables us to provide our customers a completely different level of added value than companies that only specialise in dismantling and recycling,” Susanne Horodyvskyy, Head of Sales at Deutsche Windtechnik Repowering, explained. “The specialist services and manufacturer-specific expertise that we have in the corporate group enable us to provide our customers with tangible benefits in the areas of engineering, after- sales and spare parts,” Susanne added.
The company offers a Europe-wide single-source full technical maintenance package for wind turbines, both onshore and offshore.
