S2 - Refurbished Components

13 Nov - From 09:00 to 10:50

Introduction

When dealing with refurbished components in wind farm operations, WTG owners must consider several key factors to ensure reliability and cost-effectiveness. This includes assessing component quality, compatibility with existing systems, warranty coverage, and the reputation of the refurbishment provider. Additionally, owners should evaluate the potential impact on turbine performance, downtime, and long-term operational efficiency.
