The 20 wind energy plants, Fuhrländer MD-77 with 85-meter hub height, are located in the municipality of Märkisch Linden, in the state of Brandenburg.
seebaWIND Service will monitor the plants from its remote monitoring centre in Osnabruck.
The company says while monitoring the Märkisch Linden wind farm 24 hours per day, seven days a week, specialists react in real-time to alarm reports and rectify malfunctions at an early stage.
Moreover, for more extensive maintenance on location, three service teams in the region will be ready and can reach the wind farm quickly.
“Since the seebaWIND Team can rectify malfunctions so quickly, we hope to have stable operation with very little downtime”, said Albin Rost-Grashorn from swb Crea GmbH, which operates the wind farm along with EWE ERNEUERBARE ENERGIEN GmbH. “With seebaWIND we want to continue on our path toward cost-conscious, demand-oriented maintenance”, adds Ewald Heyen, asset manager at EWE.
In addition to keeping their operations running smoothly, the operators also hope to see an increase in yield at all 20 Fuhrländer plants.
To achieve that goal, seebaWIND Service technicians will analyse the yields from the wind farm, built in 2008 and 2009 in Märkisch Linden, and they will then craft an optimization plan.
“We are still looking at the plants in order to define the exact steps we will take and to coordinate them with the customer”, explains seebaWIND Managing Director Severin Mielimonka. “Most likely we’ll start by optimising both the pitch controller, which turns the rotor blade pitch into or out of the wind, as well as the main bearing lubrication.”
