Additional information
Group discussions will include real-world examples and case studies of operating projects with a focus on solutions for common O & M challenges and ways to optimize project performance and reliability. You’ll build an understanding of how to navigate critical transitions in a project lifecycle, such as selecting a successful post-warranty O & M strategy. Course material is drawn from the team’s practical operations experience and vast database of DNV GL’s consulting on hundreds of operating wind farms.
