Case studies
RES was appointed by our client to provide O&M services to offshore transmission assets connecting a wind farm in the Irish Sea. At the time that we were appointed, OFTO services were new to the industry meaning that there was no standard specification for our client to work from. A reliable and experienced contractor was therefore needed to help.
Contract type: Full Wrap
Value: Undisclosed
RES has been involved in the development and construction of offshore wind projects since the sector began and as such has a deep understanding of the engineering, technical and operational challenges involved in offshore wind. Using our years of experience, we worked with our client to develop a “fully-wrapped” O&M service which included aspects such as preventative maintenance, 24/7 monitoring, reactive maintenance, logistics, subsea surveys and control centre services and more. This fully comprehensive service provides our client with efficiencies and streamlining because it minimises the interfaces that have to be managed. RES seamlessly manages the services within its scope minimising gaps and overlaps which in turn maximises asset availability and performance.
Reducing yaw system downtime - Using our custom-built technology agnostic software we carry out performance analysis on this data to provide meaningful insights into asset performance. For instance, we can identify the cause of lost production and expected yield.
Contract type: Ongoing
Value: Undisclosed
Our analysis highlighted that there was an unusually high yaw system downtime on this site. We quickly investigated and found that following a software update by the OEM an alarm wasn’t automatically restarting the turbines as it should following a period of low wind. This meant that the turbines had been down for longer than necessary, losing valuable revenue for our client. As we manage a large portfolio for various clients, we checked the other sites that we manage and identified that this site wasn’t unusual and that other wind farms were suffering from the same issue.
