A year on from launching its revolutionary blade maintenance habitat at Renewable UK, GEV Wind Power’s cost-saving innovation has secured its UK patent and, from SGS BASEEFA, its certification (IPX5) for the waterproofness of its Habitat’s seal.

Alastair Gadney GEV Wind Power’s projects director :
“Our pioneering Habitat has the potential to mitigate any of the planned maintenance days impacted by adverse temperature and precipitation. An exercise carried out by GEV last year highlighted that had the Habitat been available, an increase of at least 1.5% in annual energy production could be achieved for the field owner. Innovation will be key to the success of the UK’s offshore wind industry and at GEV we are striving to play a leading role in the success of this fast moving industry.”

Returning to Renewable UK 2015 on 6-8 October GEV Wind Power, one of Europe’s leading maintenance companies, will showcase a range of innovations designed to reduce maintenance costs in the wind energy sector.

Visitors will see a full scale model of the Habitat, and learn more about the other money saving initiatives offered by GEV, including the Panoblade camera and fixed priced maintenance plan. Mounted on a technician’s iPad, it enables near real-time reporting to benefit both client and provider.

The Panoblade camera rapidly captures high resolution images of an entire turbine blade surface, alleviating the need for ‘hands on’ inspection. It is already being used in the field by GEV Wind Power clients and has recently been used to inspect over 70 offshore turbines in less than three weeks.
