O&M OF WIND POWER

• With around 40 GW of installed capacity, wind power has the highest share in the total renewable market in India. The after-sales and services segment for this market, therefore, offers huge opportunities for wind O&M players. The ageing of wind turbines and failure of components such as blades and gearboxes are the major drivers for the expansion of the wind O&M market.
• Wind O&M market dynamics have also been evolving continuously. For a long time, the main players were turbine OEMs and component suppliers, which were able to generate business by working with asset owners. Specialised independent service providers have now entered the wind O&M space, offering targeted services.
• The mission of this conference is to present the potential, opportunities and technology solutions for the wind O&M market in India. The conference will provide an opportunity to learn about the operational experience of wind farm operators and get updates on the developments taking place in this space. It will also present optimal technology options and ideal solutions for existing and planned projects. The event will bring together wind project developers, O&M service providers, technology companies and industry experts to share their perspectives, learnings and issues.

REPOWERING OF WIND TURBINES

• Roughly a quarter of India’s 40 GW of installed wind capacity was commissioned with wind turbine sizes of less than 1 MW. Most of these older and smaller turbines occupy the top wind sites, underleveraging the country’s leading renewable energy resource. Sites with high wind power density are now limited – the majority are located in the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.
• Wind turbine repowering is, therefore, emerging as a big opportunity. Advancements in wind turbine technology in the last decade with improved rotor diameters, turbine sizes and pole lengths (hub heights) have made the case for repowering even stronger. They may also help increase the pace of wind capacity addition, which has been slow for the last four years.
• The mission of this conference is to understand the true potential of repowering, and explore the issues that impact repowering decisions. The conference will bring together policymakers, regulators, discoms, wind IPPs, investors and technology providers to discuss what is needed to facilitate wind turbine repowering in India
