As wind turbine fleets age, the focus for OEMs and Owner-Operators is shifting toward cost-effective spares, repairs, and life-extension solutions.
Long lead times, part obsolescence, and ageing assets are driving demand for engineered repairs, lifecycle upgrades, and regional supply chain strategies. Technical partnerships are becoming critical to reduce downtime, manage obsolescence, and defer capital expenditure.
Key outcomes include:
• Lower total cost of ownership through engineered repairs
• Reduced downtime with emergency spares available within reasonable time frames
• Extended turbine life via retrofits, adding years to operation
• Stronger local supply chains and technical partnerships
The UK market is nearing a major transition point. With a growing number of onshore and offshore projects approaching 20 years of operation and therefore reaching typical end-of-life horizons (20-25 years), significant life-extension and decommissioning decisions are required over the next decade.
Our designated Repairs and Upgrades team have seen many slip ring units come through our refurbishment service that use now obsolete non-BGB parts. Using our engineering skill and experience, we can rebuild using BGB designed parts to not only fix the obsolete slip rings, but often improve their performance and extend the life of legacy wind turbines.
