Operation


To minimize the risk of increased O&M cost Bladena helps you develop the most optimal O&M strategy in relation to Unplanned O&M, Upgrade and planned O&M.
Our advisory services within the phase Operation are ideal for turbines with blades in the range of 40-60m. These blades have an increased risk of failure during operation after end of warranty which would cause a loss of AEP.
