Operations and Maintenance Services

AR1500 and SeaGen turbines have been designed for retrieval once every six years for an overhaul and maintenance program which should take approximately two weeks. A standard DP2 vessel can be used to retrieve the nacelles and return them to base for these programmed maintenance activities. Both systems have on board health monitoring systems to assist maintenance crews in planning future maintenance campaigns. Each field of turbines is monitored 24/7 and is controlled remotely via a standard SCADA system. Data collected from each turbine can be used for fault diagnosis, proactive maintenance planning and to improve turbine and array performance.
