Wind Prospect has developed a package of measures to extend the typical 20 year life expectancy for a wind project. Wind Prospect will work in collaboration with Nabla Wind Power, an independent wind engineering service provider who specialise in predicting site specific component life, and a wind farm certification body to accredit the service.
As part of the launch of this new service, Wind Prospect and Nabla Wind Power have compiled a free of charge guide that can be downloaded from the Wind Prospect website. The guide sets out the benefits of extending a wind farm design life and how to make it feasible. It provides invaluable advice on permitting, land rights, wind turbine OEM, components, Balance of Plant, O&M strategy, site, inspection strategy, grid, power purchase agreements, tariff, and certification.
