Situation
Specific Turbines are installed with a Lightning Protection System that causes Flashovers that can lead to catastrophic Blade Failures. The OEM is trying to solve the problem with retrofit and new AOM Service extensions.
Complication
The Wind Farm owners do not have sufficient or in-depth knowledge about blades in general, lightning damages, or Lightning Protection Systems and the associated risks involved with lightning.
Solution
Blade training provided the client with technical documentation and know- how in order for them to face the OEM in discussions of burden of proof and negotiations for future solutions and agreements.
