Technical management of wind farms

Technical management

Technical management by ENERTRAG means transparent reporting, ongoing yield optimisation and condition-based maintenance:

Every minute, the ENERTRAG Operation control centre monitors and evaluates the operating and condition data of the systems. 24 hours a day, seven days a week - as if the ENERTRAG experts were on site around the clock. Customers benefit from bundled expertise from other specialist departments, which creates the greatest possible synergies. The aim is to maximise the energy availability of the systems.

ENERTRAG technical management is divided into three teams: Technical Operations Management Germany, Technical Operations Management International and Support. This ensures a holistic but also focussed view for customers. Thematic priorities can also be set which are transparent and comprehensible for everyone.

Operations Management Services

Plant data management comprises three modules: 

Module 1: Provision of operating data for generation units

Provision of operating data in accordance with the Technical Guideline TR10 of the FGW (Fördergesellschaft Windenergie und andere Dezentrale Energien) from the SCADA system of the generating unit for checking the site quality after five, ten and fifteen years of operation, in each case with time stamp and time zone (10-minute data), among other things:
Wind speed
Electrical system power (active power)
Wind direction

Module 2: Customer access for reporting with PowerSystem

Provision of a PowerSystem customer login for state-of-the-art reporting:

Continuous TARGET/ACTUAL comparison in live mode
Display of currently open processes and historical processes
Access to report components for documented processes, production figures, availability analyses, yield loss calculations

Module 3: Regular reporting

Plausibility check of the key figures of a generation unit
Preparation of monthly and annual performance reports based on the key figures with the following content:
- Production and feed-in overviews
- Availability analyses (technical and energy availability)
- Production outages (in terms of time and energy), broken down by originator and main assembly
- Performance curves and plan comparisons
- Wind analyses for wind turbines

The plant monitoring contains the following modules:

Module 1: Remote Monitoring

Provision of a control room manned 24 hours a day / 7 days a week for continuous monitoring of the status of the generating unit

Identification of execution defects with written reporting

Module 4: Deadline Management

Planning, commissioning and monitoring the timely inspection of safety components (ladder, cable winch, rescue equipment, ascent aid, fire extinguisher, PPE, etc.)
Analysing test reports, compiling lists of defects and submitting defect reports or initiating the necessary measures
Monitoring and documentation of compliance with the operational requirements of the BImSchG licence and transmission of the data to the responsible authorities in standard data format (SCADA or PowerSystem)
Initiation and organisation of measures to implement the operational requirements from the BImSchG permit

Modul 5: Insurance Management

Recording, reporting, processing and settlement of insurance claims on your behalf
Claims documentation
Loss of earnings calculations for business interruptions

Modul 6: Claim-Management

Monitoring, checking, calculating and supporting you in asserting any claims arising from guarantees from the supplier and the maintenance company of the generating unit

Tracking the rectification of defects

The occupational health and safety service is made up of the following modules:

Module 1: Emergency Coordination

Provision of a hotline available 24 hours a day / 7 days a week for health and safety issues
In the event of an emergency / accident, we help with :
Coordination of compliance with health and safety regulations and the operator's emergency plan 
Initiation of immediate safety measures following an accident as soon as it becomes known
Notification of the departments specified in the emergency plan
Further coordination of the process up to the recommissioning of the generating units
Transmission of information to you
Documentation

Module 2: Plant Manager

Position of a person responsible for the installation in accordance with DIN VDE 0105-100 (VDE 0105-100):2015-10 for the activities carried out by our personnel
If activities are carried out by third parties, we ensure that a person responsible for the system is appointed for the period of these activities
