Wind turbines are exposed to highly variable and often extreme weather conditions. This mechanical stress could eventually result in major component failures. Our experience makes us perfectly placed to perform repairs and replacements as and when they’re needed. Our technicians’ wide-spread expertise enables us to perform repair work on any of the major wind turbine technologies on the market. We offer a range of repair services which we can tailor to the type of turbine components involved. Our investment in industry-leading technology enables us to drastically reduce your spending. With our Liftra Self-Hoisting Crane we can perform up-tower generator and gearbox repair without the need for a conventional crane.

Scheduling and sourcing of cranes, jack-up vessels and tools

We take care of all your site logistics, from planning, sourcing and scheduling to performing and supervising any maintenance work. We can bring all the required personnel and material to your site, including the sourcing and scheduling of cranes and vehicles. Our global network gives us access to the best technology and tools, allowing us to keep costs low for your business. Innovating to save you Time and Money: Our self-hoisting crane can work anywhere there is a usable road, requires no crane pad, comes in a single container and has a higher cut out speed than a traditional crane. To get the most out of this equipment, E.ON Energy Services established a Major Correctives Team with decades of experience performing major component exchanges. Our team is one of the best in the business at major repairs and replacements for gearboxes, generators, bearings, and rotors. 

We know from our own experience that we need to offer flexible and innovative solutions to fulfill your specific needs. That is why we fully customize our services in collaboration with you. Our qualified service technicians, working in accordance with the highest level of safety standards, are ready to help you with preventive maintenance and troubleshooting, seven days a week. With 24/7 remote monitoring of your site we respond to problems as they arise and our condition monitoring services can predict failures before they occur.

Our aim is to provide you with the highest availability and maximum energy production as if your wind farm was our own. Our comprehensive services range from the daily operations & maintenance of your wind turbines to the technical and commercial management of your energy production. We are a dedicated partner that provides services with an Owner’s Eye: We create the service you need. No matter what you choose, you can expect us to provide the same care, attention to detail and site management efficiency to you as we do for our own business. 

Wind turbines are built to last. Through our wind farm optimization program, we can extend the lifetime of your wind farm even further, while also increasing its performance. Predictive maintenance can dramatically reduce the chance of sudden and unexpected failures of critical turbine components. We use the vibration data of mechanical components, such as gearboxes and generators, to forecast any necessary fixes. Where needed, we can also perform a more detailed analysis. This combines the data with other factors such as temperature, oil pressure, power output and wind speed. Our expert condition-based monitoring allows us to schedule maintenance works in the minimum possible timeframe, reducing downtime and the severity of possible failures.

Operational strategy: Each wind farm operates under a unique set of commercial conditions. By assessing income streams and operational impact on the full extent of your assets, we can provide the best operational strategy to fit your specific needs.

Performance evaluation and improvement: Our in-house analysts are on hand to detect any inefficiency in your turbine and wind farm performance. Their technical analysis will cover performance reduction both historically and in real time to identify patterns, trends and any improvements that can be made to enhance your wind farm’s output. 

Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your wind turbines in good condition. Due to the diversity of wind turbine technologies in our operational fleet, we have extensive knowledge on how different turbines behave, enabling us to take the necessary precautions to prevent any possible failures. Ultimately, our aim is to increase energy output. That means we’ll make sure to schedule our turbine maintenance during low generation periods, so your farm can maintain maximum productivity. When we do schedule maintenance hours, you can rely on us to provide fully qualified technicians, as well as all the necessary vehicles, tools, consumables and parts. We also regularly perform specialist turbine assessments, such as blade inspection or changing the gearbox oil. If you have any problems that need to be solved on-site, our locally based technicians are ready to perform fault-analysis, fix the issue and get your turbines up and running again with minimal downtime.

24/7 remote monitoring: Continual control minimizes the risk of unnecessary standstill. Our team of technical experts monitors your wind turbines 24 hours per day, seven days a week from our central control rooms. Using our state-of-the-art monitoring technology, our experienced control room engineers will remotely fix the majority of errors as soon as they happen. We know how important it is to have access to spare parts and tools at the crucial moments. That’s why we’ve invested in a spare parts management system to facilitate inventory management at centralized and local warehouses. We’ll have all the necessary tools and spare parts available for you when they’re needed, and our global network allows us to purchase at lower rates to keep costs down for your business. Our in-house technical support team of experienced engineers are available round the clock to provide in-depth expertise. They make sure your wind farm is running at an optimized operational level. To maximize the availability factor of your site we offer both time-based and energy-based availability guarantees.
