Offshore substations

The following tasks may be carried out as part of technical management:

• Technical management of the entire wind farm
• Storage and analysis of the operating and system data
• Monitoring and documentation of service and maintenance activities
• Monitoring of warranty claims
• Monthly reporting on all data relevant to operations
• Availability calculations

The range of activities to be employed can be expanded to match demands within the scope of our service portfolio.

For the most part, maintenance includes inspection, maintenance and repair tasks. See below for a brief overview of the range of services we offer:

• Creation of a maintenance plan
• Creation of maintenance handbooks and checklists
• Monitoring and implementation of established maintenance tasks
• Monitoring and implementation of established maintenance tasks
• Maintenance of primary transformer and switch gear technology
• Maintenance of secondary technology (e.g. electricity supply generators, air-conditioning technology, communication engineering, HSE facilities, building services engineering, helicopter deck and lighting equipment)
• Maintenance of high and medium voltage transmission from offshore substations
• Necessary and legally-required prevention measures and inspections
• Supply and replacement of consumable supplies, tools and equipment
• Provision of work plans to make it possible for the customer to coordinate offshore work and provide the necessary offshore logistics

With substations in particular, there are many tasks which all need to be carried in the time shortly before the substation is put into operation. We can provide support during the preparations for commissioning.

• Planning for commissioning
• Planning for switching processes
• Specifying procedures
• Definition of interfaces
• Commissioning management
• Grid connection of medium-voltage power
• Monitoring of cabling within the wind farm
