Operations and Asset Management Services
End-to-end solutions to minimise risks and maximise return on investment
To optimise return on investment, wind energy projects must be developed, designed and constructed to provide technically robust and reliable assets. In addition to managing the expectations of stakeholders throughout the project, investors need to maintain the operational integrity of project assets and ensure that service contractors respond proactively.
TÜV SÜD supports you in preparing and implementing plans and organisational procedures to effectively monitor and control operations. Our detailed knowledge of machine technology, electrical distribution and SCADA systems allows for an independent performance review at the operational stage.
