Welcome to our Service Booklet 2020/2021!
Despite all the different industrial and energy policies, all scenarios point to a
strong, global expansion of renewable energies, and this is particularly true for
wind energy. The service and maintenance of wind turbines is a key specialist
discipline for the expansion. A study* published in 2019 shows how onshore
service markets are currently developing strategically worldwide. According to
this study, independent service providers such as Deutsche Windtechnik have
established themselves as a fixture in the European service market. At the
global scale, more and more operators are weighing their options of service
from the turbine manufacturers on the one hand and independent service
providers on the other.
The highly dynamic competition, which is being driven by Leading wind energy to success together
independent service providers, has led to many improvements, Together with our customers, our goal is to be the world‘s

Rotor Blade Service
Rotor blades have to withstand heavier loads than almost
any other component of a wind energy system. Depending
on the intensity of the load as well as the type and quality
of the manufacturing process, defects caused by wear will
occur sooner or later. Design and manufacturing defects
may also become apparent. Correspondingly, the amount of
maintenance that is optimal is different in each case.

The tower and the foundation must both function correctly for the system

Research and Development
Our objective is not only to ensure that Our analyses are based on a stable and growing data pool of
currently over 7,000 wind turbines. This data is complemen-
systems operate safely and securely, ted by many years of expertise coupled with technical calcula-
but also to facilitate continuous improve- tions, careful selection of materials and finally by detailed eval-

system software and programming takes care of correspond-
in all divisions work daily on the further ing special tasks. We want our overall range of services to
development of our services. convince our clients. All divisions must fit together perfectly
to ensure harmonised services.
Improvements/Upgrade system technology

Servicing will continue to be a dynamic field of activity. This is
reflected by the wide range of creative, innovative upgrades
that Deutsche Windtechnik has developed to optimise system
operations. In order to redesign existing parts, electrical and
mechanical components and tools, we also work with 3D
scanners. Each upgrade is the result of an extensive research
and development process that is driven by our enthusiasm for
servicing and our entrepreneurial agility.
With regard to new designs and further developments, our

engineers apply state of the art concepts and work in line
with the latest developments. Personal exchange between
specialist departments within Deutsche Windtechnik and
with research facilities, partners and customers ensures that
improvements are developed and applied in the right context.
To achieve the desired economic effects, our engineers coordi-
nate their work closely with sales and management.
Independence is necessary
A comparison of available upgrades from manufacturers
and independent service providers shows that independent
service in particular is the driving force behind retrofits and
improvement of overall servicing. We are convinced that
independence from the manufacturer is in fact essential to be
able to successfully manage improvement of system opera-
tions. The manufacturer of original parts or systems is often
trapped within its own responsibility for design shortcomings.
Independent companies can focus exclusively on maintenance
and look very closely at system performance. They possess key
competencies because independent companies have qualified
service personnel for a wide range of system generations.
Developing new things together with customers

It is important to us to involve our customers as partners in
the maintenance processes and the development potential of
their own turbines: We maintain a personal dialogue and rely
on the direct exchange of information with our customers.
Together, we ensure that our engineers develop exactly what
you need to sustainably improve system operation.

Ensuring that all safety-related equipment functions correctly

is a key factor for reliable yields. If malfunctions occur in this
area, then this often undermines any service or repair measures
because personnel can no longer access the turbine. In addition,
considerable potential for danger exists and the operator runs
the risk of liability claims. It is therefore necessary to quickly
eliminate safety hazards as soon as they are identified.
