Choose the right perspective
Match the person's side of the industry, such as turbine design at a manufacturer or engineering for wind farm owners and developers, and their onshore or offshore focus to the decision you face. Check whether their wind role is current or past, and ask them for one design or fleet decision they owned and how it performed in the field.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Which turbine or component design choices most affected reliability and maintenance cost once wind farms were operating?
- 02How do you evaluate turbine suppliers and technologies when planning a new onshore or offshore wind project?
- 03What engineering issues most often delay wind projects between design and commissioning, and how did you address them?
