Generator management at Lincs wind farm
Offshore wind service and solutions company CWind has begun generator management work with Siemens at Lincs wind farm with a package containing a vessel, skilled personnel and an offshore wind farm solution.
Generator management involves the deployment, installing, refuelling and servicing of the equipment as well as rigging and lifting operations to bring the equipment shoreside. CWind has proven expertise in this area, having worked on five wind farms to date with three different generator types.
CWind has already worked with Siemens on many projects, including earlier generator management projects. Peter Joergensen, the Siemens site manager at Lincs wind farm said, “CWind has a solid project track record with us and we are looking forward to working with them on this site. It’s about choosing partners to complete the jobs professionally and to a high quality and safe standard. CWind ticks the right boxes.”
Dave Quested, operations director at CWind added, “We have a great bunch of technicians working on this team and they will be operating from a highly versatile CTruk 20T MPC workboat which is really ideal for this work, with a large and adaptable load carrying capacity as well as in-hull storage of 16,000 litres of fuel.”
