The Importance of Regular Blade Maintenance

Ensuring regular cleaning of wind turbine blades is crucial, as it can improve asset performance by up to 20%. 

Several factors can negatively impact the performance of a wind asset, including : 

  • Dust 
  • Insects 
  • Ice pollution, etc. 

As an investor, maximizing your return on investment is a top priority. Greensolver conducts regular blade inspections to detect potential defects that could affect the performance of wind assets, optimizing their energy production. Once a potential issue is identified, we recommend the best solution to enhance the asset’s efficiency. 

Greensolver can also liaise directly with your wind turbine manufacturer to ensure they fulfill their obligations and comply with the maintenance contract requirements.
