Research indicates that component service and spare parts can take up 26% of an annual O&M budget alone - the largest single expense of running a turbine. In the first of a series of infopacks, Wind Energy Update delves into the key challenges and considerations operators face with regards to maintaining and operating turbine components, and competing strategies to monitor their performance.
