The requirements to be met by operations managers are steadily increasing. They have to face growing regulations, especially in the sphere of inspections and deadlines. The complexity involved in properly handling the periodic inspections, Industrial Safety Regulations, etc., grows with the number of turbines.<\/p>\n

Schedule and deadline management with wpd windmanager<\/h3>\n

To keep control of the multiplicity of inspections and deadlines, wpd windmanager uses central schedule and deadline management. \u201cWith around 2,000 turbines under our management, this is absolutely essential\u201d, emphasises Jonas Lesch, Technical Manager at wpd windmanager. \u201cWithout a system of this nature, operations managers cannot process the huge volume of inspections, deadlines and individual contract arrangements with any degree of professionalism.\u201d<\/p>\n

If a periodic inspection is due at a wind farm, the schedule and deadline management system will inform all the relevant contacts. The work required is scheduled early enough to exploit potential synergy effects, e.g. by carrying out several inspections simultaneously.<\/p>\n

Determining inspection deadlines<\/h3>\n

A certain amount of preliminary work is required before the inspection deadlines enter the system. \u201cThe first thing is to determine the deadlines\u201d, Lesch explains. \u201cIt\u2019s not always immediately clear what has to be inspected in a wind farm or what is urgently recommended, for example.\u201d Added to this are the various levels involved. \u201cWhat are the statutory requirements? Are there any additional contractual or insurance-related regulations? And what role does the subject of occupational safety play, in particular?\u201d, says Lesch. For every wind farm, the operators have to identify potential risks and assess them in so-called risk assessments. The aim is to take preventive measures to avoid accidents or other health risks. It is particularly important to conduct regular inspections and determine the inspection deadlines taking the following regulations into account:<\/p>\n
