A very common mistake among wind asset owners is not to do these types of inspections or even to leave them under the responsibility of the OEM.
It is true that the cost of this type of analysis by an experienced and knowledgeable third party can be relevant, but the reality is that the problems and costs that can be avoided with a proper EoW inspection performed by independent professionals as Carr is much higher than the cost of such an inspection given the large difference in liabilities of the supply contracts (TSA) and O&M (SMA), even if this is full scope.

Checking the quality and performance of wind turbines before the end of the supply warranty is as important, if not more so, as the handover process of the wind farm after commissioning.

Data analysis, well-documented inspections and final reports are essential documents to build a legal basis for any possible claims against the OEM.
