GE has introduced its latest package of services for wind turbines – a ‘full service agreement’ (FSA) designed to provide wind turbine owners with total support for all of their planned and unplanned maintenance and operations needs. The FSA is being introduced on all new GE 2.5xl wind turbines in Europe, with plans to extend it globally on all turbine models.
The FSA offers support for customers looking to share additional operational responsibility with the original equipment manufacturer. The package includes all planned maintenance activities – such as remote monitoring and troubleshooting, routine services, preventative maintenance, on-site support and parts support – as well as unplanned maintenance services, such as uptower inspection and repair, condition monitoring and turbine performance, and life- extension solutions.
According to GE, a key feature of the FSA is guaranteed availability of the wind turbine. The FSA also gives customers access to GE's suite of turbine upgrades, which have been developed based on new product evolutions.
