Let's talk regulatory motivators...

As the renewable energy market continues to grow, so does the need to maximise asset availability and optimise operation and maintenance strategies. With the industry new becoming increasingly regulated, the penalties for poor performance can be particularly costly, with the impact of up to a staggering 50% of annual revenue, in the form of penalties.

A key asset in the balance of plant is the power transformer. In many projects this transformer is often a single point through which all the generation from the project passes through, a failure can therefore result in loss of generation from the entire project.

While transformers should have a lifetime which is greater than the design life of the overall project, an increasing number of renewable generation companies are experiencing failures early in their lifetime. With transformer lead times now 18+ months, a failure could potentially have catastrophic commercial effects in terms of regulatory penalties for lack of availability and cost of lost generation.
