Obligation and practice
Why maintenance is not optional
Maintaining wind turbines serves not only the safety and efficiency of the installations – it is also mandatory. Legislators, insurers and the employers' liability insurance associations require recurring inspections of wind turbines.
Experts must inspect the machine, rotor blades and tower at regular intervals. The intervals follow from the expert opinions for the individual turbine and amount to a maximum of two years; in exceptional cases they can be extended to four years.
Inspection intervals by rated power
The inspection cycle depends on the rated power of the wind turbine.
| Rated power of the turbine | Inspection interval |
|---|---|
| Turbines below 300 kW | every 4 years |
| Turbines from 300 kW up to 1,500 kW | every 2 years |
| Turbines of 1,500 kW and above | annually |
The exact intervals result from the expert opinions issued for the individual turbine.
Further mandatory inspections
In addition to the turbine inspection, insurers and the employers' liability insurance association require further recurring checks.
| Inspection | Interval |
|---|---|
| Lightning protection testing | every 2 years |
| Fire extinguisher servicing | at least every 2 years |
| Inspection of climbing ladders | annually |
| Inspection of personal protective equipment (PPE) | annually |
Even though most maintenance and service technicians bring their own harnesses and fall-arrest equipment, the approval requirements for wind turbines stipulate that a certain amount of personal protective equipment must be available on site for emergencies.
