And today we're talking about the need for wind blade inspections and repair planning with our guest Armando Costa Rego, founder and CEO of Arthwind. And Arthwind are the blade doctors of Brazil. Now, if you've been around wind turbines long enough, you know that wind turbines are a critical part of the renewable energy infrastructure, but they're also complex machines that can be susceptible to damage. And wind blades are particularly vulnerable to damage from ice, wind, and other environmental factors. And that's why it's important to have a comprehensive blade inspection and repair plan in place. This plan should include the schedule for regular inspections and a process for identifying, repairing any damage that is found. And Arthwind is really key part of that. By following a regular inspection and repair plan, you can ensure your, your wind turbine blades are operating safely and efficiently, and you can also definitely extend the lifetime of your wind turbines, which will save money in the long run. So on this podcast, we're gonna discuss all of the importance factors of wind blade inspections and repair planning. We'll also talk about some of the latest technology that Arthwind has used to inspect and repair wind turbine blades. Armando, welcome to the program. Armando Costa Rego: Hey guys, thank you very much for this introduction. It's really a pleasure to be here the first time after meeting you several times around the world. So now we are here now. Allen Hall: So Arthwind's based in Brazil. You guys are located just outside of Sao Paulo. And you, you, you formed a company because you had a lot of blade expertise. You may, you may wanna give a brief description of, of where you learned about blades. Armando Costa Rego: Yeah, that's right. We are located in, near to Sao Paulo actually, Sorocaba. Sorocaba is a a city where Texas has built more than 50,000 wind blades since 2007. So we have here a hub of expertise of the all kinds of blades and all that. At, at 37 meters, 40 meters, 48 and any longers blades. My, my expertise started in Europe, actually. I was running wind blade maintenance through a, a company, a local company there since 2009, up to 2015. Then I returned to Brazil to manage the operation in South America and decided in 2007 to create my own project called Arthwind to bring the technology to the way how things are getting done, you know, so I was like a terrific critic of how blades is used, being inspected, inspecting that time, taking pictures from the grounds. So I joined partners around the world to, to bring this new technology to Brazil and so far since 2017, we, we had successfully inspected more than 45,
In this News Flash: Engineering firm PD&MS has been acquired by RSK, Total Energies takes full ownership of Total Eren, and opponents of offshore wind projects in New Jersey are suing Orsted over $1 billion in tax breaks.

News Flash - 30 July 2023 Allen Hall: I'm Allen Hall, President of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and I'm here with the Vice President of North American Sales for Wind Power LAB, Joel Saxum and the founder and CEO of Intelstor Phil Totaro, and this is your News Flash, Aberdeen based engineering firm PD&MS has acquired, been acquired by RSK, a global leader in sustainable solutions, PD&MS has been operating since 2002 and expanded with Synergy Environ and Optimus joining in 2021 and 2022, respectively. The company serves prominent names in the energy industry like Vattenfall and Seagreen Offshore Wind Project. This is a merger of engineering companies. It seems like every engineering company, is involved in any offshore or global business, right at the moment is trying to grab another engineering business to make themselves more powerful. Phil Totaro: Yes. This makes two weeks in a row that we've been talking about this. But it's also interesting to note too, you know, how involved both companies are in,,insurance advisory as well. This was probably not necessarily highlighted in in. What they put out publicly, but they, both companies have actually done a lot with, UK insurance companies. in particular in underwriters. So I, I think everybody that's involved in the offshore wind value chain just wants to understand what the emerging risks are, a lot better than, than what they currently do. So I think this, this makes sense and the consolidation is likely to continue. Joel Saxum: To follow on with what Phil's saying there with the insurance industry is you have London. The reason London has is making money and always has, it's a financial center right. it's like Singapore or, or New York. I mean, they, they produce things, but the really thing they produce is the movement of money. So London as a financial center is also where the London markets are. All of the insurance companies are there, but you also have a lot of bankers there. So if there's a, you know, and they, they drink beer at the same pubs. They hang out with the same people. So when you start listening to people, Oh, well there's, there's some financial companies here. There's, there's quite, to be honest with you, there's quite a bit of dry powder sitting around in London that is looking at investing in, in renewables because they see it as the future, right? You always follow the money. I. Um, so those, those same circles playing together, if you can see, hey, we should tie this person up or tie these people up, um, that's how they're creating these monster engineering groups and they're gonna, this, this is gonna continue to happen. Total Allen Hall: Energies has acquired full ownership of renewable energies, company total. EEN increasing the state from approximately 30% to 100%. The acquisition evolves a net investment around 1.5 billion euros for total energies. Total EEN has about three and a half gigawatts of renewable capacity and operation worldwide. What the pipeline of over 10 gigawatts of projects in 30 countries. Joel Saxum:, I think it's a smart move by Total, Total,
As offshore wind technology continues its global expansion, a noteworthy collaboration has emerged between industry giants GE and Toshiba, who are now partnering to deploy cutting-edge Haliade-X nacelles for Japanese offshore farms. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, discussions are underway for the establishment of up to 5 near-shore wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico, a strategic move that would keep these projects out of federal waters. However, the wind industry and WindEurope have expressed their disapproval of the recent negative bidding process that unfolded for German offshore sites, which has sparked debates. On a brighter note, Swiss-based RigiTech is revolutionizing drone deliveries to offshore turbines, promising improved efficiency and effectiveness. In US waters, tensions arise between worker groups and developers due to the Jones Act, posing challenges to offshore endeavors. In the realm of corporate innovation, Shopify is taking a novel approach to reduce meeting times with an innovative calendar update.

Super talented and we went to watch the race this weekend up in New, well, when you hear this, it's been a week past, but it was up in New Hampshire, which was fascinating. I haven't been that close to a NASCAR race before. I've watched it on television for years, but it never really been to one. It, it was really cool. It's loud and powerful and there were a couple of really. Significant accidents right, right in front of us near know the start, finish line. It was quite the scare there at the end. But a really, really good time. So we're just gonna keep track of him the next couple of months. It's just interesting to talk to somebody who actually races cars for a living. It's. It's pretty cool. It's kinda like being a lightning engineer. They're cool. But, so this week we talk about a woman being hit by a meteorite in France and then GE and Toshiba are partnering together in Japan to make NA cells, which is Joel Saxum: really cool. And the state of Louisiana taking advantage of its three mile economic zone to install some offshore wind down there. And then we're gonna stay in the offshore wind world and take a peek at the. Auction that just happened over in Germany, and we do call it an auction instead of negative bidding via Rosemary. And then also staying again in the offshore world of RigiTech or RigiTech. We're not really sure which one it is, but drone deliveries right from the vessel all the way up to the nael dropping parts, and most importantly lunches off to technicians Rosemary Barnes: up there. And we're gonna talk about the Jones Act with suspicions that foreign flagged vessels might be being used instead of us made ones in off the US coast, we're gonna talk about Shopify's plans to reduce waste of meetings with unnecessary people involved.

News Flash - 24 July 2023 Allen Hall: I'm Allen Hall, president of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and I'm here with the Vice President of North American Sales for Wind Power LAB, Joel Saxum and the Founder and CEO of Intelstor Phil Totaro, and this is your News Flash. Offshore Wind Consultants is acquiring Delta Wind Partners to expand its technical offering in wind turbines and consultancy for offshore wind projects. Wind Partners is a specialist in all kinds of solutions involving offshore wind turbines. Now. Now Joel, this seems to be an obvious partnership just because everybody's looking for engineers. Everybody's looking for offshore wind experience. Joel Saxum: Yeah. Grabbing, grabbing engineers, grabbing capabilities, and growing market share. So, Right. It's the same thing. We talk about this, this kind of grouping of companies that are complimentary to each other. If your culture matches a bit and, and they've got 10 engineers and you've got 10 engineers, let's put 'em all together. We got 20 engineers. Now we're, now, we're a big company that can be entrusted more Allen Hall: and Delta Wood Partners has a couple of projects that has worked on some projects in the UK, Ireland, Japan, and South Korea. Now, Phil, South Korea is a big growing area for offshore wind. Does bringing in some expert expertise for a group that has worked in South Korea help out offshore wind consultants? Phil Totaro: Absolutely. So OWC has some of their own contracts on some of the kind of projects that are in the pipeline. But even generally, like OWC's Parent Company, ABL. They have been kind of expanding their capability throughout offshore wind over the past, you know, five, six years. So this is just adding one more piece to that, that puzzle that gives them kind of a a market leading position. Allen Hall: Everybody's looking to grab the market position. At the moment everybody's getting bigger. More of this to come. Equinor will acquire Rio Energy, a prominent onshore renewables company in Brazil through an agreement with Denham capital. Deal includes selected assets and the team while denim capital will retain. Certain assets. The move allows Equinor to take a leading role in t...

Phil Totaro Allen Hall: I'm Allen Hall, president of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and I'm here with the Vice President of North American Sales of Wind Power LAB, Joel Saxum and the CEO and founder of Intelstor, Phil Totaro. And we are here to discuss offshore wind development in the United States because we get a lot of questions about that via LinkedIn, via chat, via text messages that there's, there's a lot of concern about where the US is going because there appears to be delays and. You know, as the offshore wind is rapidly a growing industry and the US has a potential to be a major player in it, but there are several supply constraints that are going to be holding back development that includes a shortage of vessels and ports, the lack of a domestic manufacturing chain for the turbines, foundations, and ships. A shortage of skilled workers and also, you know, there's just regulatory issues, transmission lines, all of that. These constraints are, are our major challenge to the US schools of developing 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030. So to meet this goal, the US will need to invest and. All kinds of efforts to even get close to the 30 gigawatt number. So this discussion today is to try to highlight some of the issues and, and, and make our listeners aware of what's happening out there because large players on the US East Coast are starting to try to delay projects or asking for different PPA prices or trying to roughly trying to raise prices about 20%. Why are they trying to do that? So Phil, hey, welcome back to the Phil Totaro: program. Thanks, Allen. Thanks for having Allen Hall: me. So there is a, a supply constraint and, and we're, Joel and I have gone back and forth about how big that constraint is. Are we 29 gigawatts out of 30 or are we more like 15 gigawatts out of 30 by 2030? Phil Totaro: We're leaning more towards the 15. If, if that, and unfortunately The one answer to your question about why, you know and, and why are people trying to slow down? Why are people trying to raise prices by 20%? The short answer is inflation. The bigger question though, is it, it looks like we're not actually quite ready to pull the trigger on some of the investment commitments that have been made. You know, there are nael factories that need to be built. There are blade factories that need to be built foundations, et cetera. And while there have been many public statements about it which have excited and delighted, you know, local politicians who are interested in jobs and tax revenue, It. We haven't actually seen money, a whole lot of money get spent yet. I think of the 10 to 15 factory commitments or expansions let's throwing in, you know, some, some other domestic facilities. There's about 15 or so facilities today that are ...
The Uptime News Flash is a short form podcast to discuss wind energy mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships.

Email us! News Flash 17 July 2023 Allen Hall: I'm Allen Hall, president of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and I'm here with the Vice President of North American Sales for Wind Power LAB. Joel Saxum, we're the host of the Uptime podcast, and this is your newsflash. First up, Germany's first dynamic bidding process for offshore wind zones has generated 12.6 billion euros in proceeds. The auction received several zero subsidy bids for the three North Sea areas and one Baltic sea area leading to a dynamic bidding stage. Now, this, Joel, this is unusual for Europe. In, in America it's, it's as commonplace, but. Zero subsidy bids are a problem for the industry, right? Joel Saxum: Oh, it says that the costs are either gonna be passed on somehow, right? They're gonna be passed on through the supply chain, which is kind of already struggling or to the consumers, right? So at the end of the day, someone has to pay for non subsidy wind. Like if you look at wind in the us, you're say, if we did away with ptc, well, it makes these projects not that feasible unless PPA prices rise, which eventually. Passes that cost on the consumer. So the same thing with these bids going here offshore in Germany. They're not, there's no subsidies at the round that ended up winning these bids. So all of those costs must be in a tra basically a traditional business model passed on to someone. Allen Hall: The real trick here is are are they gonna continue on with this process? Cause I think the industry wants not to do this. I think when Europe put out a statement earlier this week saying they would prefer not to go down this pathway and, and these. Zero subsidy. Bids need to stop. But I think the countries in Germany, one of them I think. Other countries would like to have some cash right now. And so this is an easy way to get it. It just skews a marketplace. Joel Saxum: Yeah, I mean if you read any of the press releases, one of the big, not one of the biggest offshore offshore wind player in the world, Ted, they backed outta the auction. Now we don't know when they backed out of it at what stage, but at some stage they backed out. And there is a part of a press release from Reuters that says earlier this year, Nipper, who's Mads Nipper, the CEO of Orsted had warned against. The German pricing model for the auction saying it could ultimately raise cost for consumers. So that's the, the, you know, Orsted backed out when they saw the prices getting too high. They don't want to be, you know, a part of a, something that is an upside down business model before you even start. And, you know, in US dollars, this 14 billion euros for seven gigawatt, or 14 billion US dollars for seven gigawatts of of space in the ocean is a, that's a lot of money. Allen Hall: Orted is playing it close to the best. You see that happening in the United States at the moment on the East Coast, and now you're seeing it over in Germany, and rightly so, they're pretty smart at what they do.
The Uptime News Flash is a short form podcast to discuss wind energy mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships. This week in the news Joel Saxum and Allen Hall discuss Scotland-based Edge Solutions seeking another funding round for their Armour Edge leading edge shell solution. Renantis and Ventient Energy are merging in 2024 to build a more powerful energy company, and PelaStar and FibreMax are working together for their innovation tension leg offshore floating platform design.

Joel Saxum, we're the host of the Uptime podcast, and this is your Newsflash. Edge Solutions, a Scottish company is looking for additional funding for their Armour Edge leading edge erosion solution and the company is, is seeking to raise 2 million pounds in new funding to expand its team meet, demand and finance research and development. And Joel, they had noted earlier that it had closed a 1 million pound enterprise investment scheme funding round which was participated in by private investors. But now it's, it's trying to expand itself. The company has hired Stuart MacLean former senior partner in mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance at law firm, CMS who becomes the head of corporate development and Richard Scullion, a former global marketing director for Palla Pharma, has been appointed as head of business development. So Joel, we know that the Armour Edge product from Edge Solutions works really well. It sounds like they need a little bit of funding to, to really kick off this product. Joel Saxum: Yeah. They're on that scale mode, right? They've got, they've, they've been in, out in the world. They're installing it. It's on turbines. They've got the, it's proved right. We know it works. They claim a 50 year lifetime now. It hasn't been around that long, so we don't know if the 50 year lifetime is correct yet. However they're out there in the market, they've have acceptance by the market, and now they're ready to hit the ground running. They've, they've done the walk and now it's time to sprint. So it's get some cash in, grow the team grow the ability to scale up by building product. And. They're on it right now. They're ready to go. Allen Hall: Why is it so hard for a physical product to raise money? This has gotta be the number one or number two issue for every wind turbine operator on the planet. Well, I think Joel Saxum: part of the problem is, is that you have to attack the asset owners, right? That's who you have to go after with the hard, with the hard product. And when you're going with the asset owners, their budgets are a little bit smaller. So if it's not a solution that gives tangible feedback. Now to me, this is tangible, it's easy, it's gonna reduce my o and m budget by X amount. The ROI is pretty easy to calculate. You know, I won't have to do a million dollar campaign in year one, and then year five, and then year 10. It's easy to see. But those are, that's money down the road.
The wind industry was stunned by the Siemens Energy announcement of $1.1B in unexpected costs to correct design issues with Siemens Gamesa onshore turbines. All the OEM engineering groups are under extreme pressure to control costs while delivering exceptional turbines. Joel, Rosemary and Allen discuss the Siemens Gamesa issues and how engineering organizations can be successful in difficult times.

Email us! Uptime 172 Allen Hall: This Week's episode of the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast is pretty exciting because Joel, Rosemary and I take a, a deep look into the Siemens Gamesa issues. Obviously, they're going through a little bit of turmoil at the moment, and. We have a discussion about what, what that means for engineering and, and for the company in, in a larger context. The discussion is not necessarily focused on Siemens Gamesa. I think we really get into a lot of good discussion back and forth then maybe a little bit heated at times about how engineering should function. And wind turbine companies have had some real significant design issues and, and some manufacturing issues to go along with it. Those are really tough to overcome. But Rosemary, Joel and I have worked at a lot of different companies and we've seen a lot of different engineering management styles and organizations, and we, we think sometimes those have a big influence on the quality of the product that goes out the door. So this discussion is really interesting and good. And it, it's, it's meant to pick off a lot of discussion in the, in the industry of how to run an engineering organization, how to create a quality product. And to avoid some of the, the costly decisions that Siemens Gamesa is going through. So it's a good episode, so stick with us. I'm Allen Hall, president of Weather Lightning Tech, and I'm here with the Vice President of North American Sales for Wind Power Lab. Joel Saxum and International renewables expert, Rosemary Barnes, and this is the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. So the big news this week, if you haven't seen it already, is that. Siemens Gamesa had an eternal review to look at the status of their existing onshore and offshore fleet, and during that review it was identified about $1 billion in offset, which means that they, they're gonna have to set aside about a billion dollars to take care of some of the, I think, design issues is what I'm hearing, and some manufacturing issues. And these are just coming to light after having about a half billion dollar write down in early this year, like January, the same sort of thing had happened. Preparing for warranty claims and repairs they're gonna have to happen in the, in the near future. This, of course set Siemens stock tumbling. About 25, 30% by the time you hear this podcast. It may have recovered some because I do think there, obviously there's value in Siemens and Siemens Gamesa but it does set everybody in the, in the wind energy space to become really concerned because you don't want to hear that a large player, such as a Siemens Gamesa, is having the stock drop and Siemens stock drop. That kind of drop is dramatic and can. Really injure a company, not in the short term, but really in the long term. And Joel, I know the other players, the Vestas, the GEs, the Suzlons of the world didn't seem to get too rocked by that.
A busy week in wind energy! IdentiFlight's bird detection system was approved for use in France - Rosemary has great insights into the effectiveness of the system. BP and Equinor test the ocean floor off the coast of NY, and the US Government Accountability Office promises to look into the effects of offshore wind. GustoMSC is moving towards Modular SOV's to fill the growing need for multi-tasking ship. Massachusetts and New York are dealing with offshore projects in limbo - will the states move to save the projects? Wood Mackenzie has studied the offshore wind supply chain in detail with some eye-catching results. And, our wind farm of the week is the Twin Ridges Wind Farm in Pennsylvania.

Email us! Uptime 171 Allen Hall: Up in Canada last week, there was a wind turbine, then it was on fire. Everybody saw it on LinkedIn or TikTok or wherever you get the news from. And then they got struck by lightning and then they got struck by lightning again, from what I could tell. So that wind turbine had a really horrible day because it just completely burned down, unfortunately. And in the aftermath, a lot of people were calling me like, well why are these wind turbines burning? I think, and this is word to the wise. If you have a lot of oil or grease or debris in your wind turbine just kinda laying around, if you walk into the top of a wind turbine and you see, you know, your ankle deep in, in oil, you probably ought to clean that up because the first lightning strike that happens, that turbine is a torch. There's your safety tip for the week. Clean your turbine. Well, this week we have a, a, a very short list of topics for a really good episode. We are talking about birds, whales, ships. An offshore wind and maybe some politics, but very little. Thank goodness. So it, it's a, a packed episode. Rosemary has some really good insight into a bird detection system that got approved over in France. And then we, we get into some Joel things about how we take samples from the ocean bottom and some really cool o v stuff that GustoMSC is working on. So stay tuned. I'm Allen Hall, president of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and I'm here with the Vice President of North American Sales for Wind Power Lab. Joel Saxum an international renewables expert Rose, and this is the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast, IdentiFlight Has received acceptance from the Grand East region authorities in France and IdentiFlight is a US based company, I think it's based in Colorado, that provides bird detection systems for wind farms. And their system has, and Joel, I don't know if you've seen this thing, but it's basically a series of cameras wrapped around a, a pole that's looking at all directions. Then it has a camera that swivels around. The, the, the cameras that are sort of fixed are looking for the bird, and then the, the swivel camera, which has stereo vision, locates it, zooms in on, identifies it. The acceptance of identify is the first time that French authorities have validated an automated system for reducing bird collisions in wind farms. The system can identify multiple species of protected birds, including the red kite, which is a big deal in France. So the success of the system in reducing sys mortality rates supports obviously French and EU regulations for protecting bird species. And, and Rosemary,
Rosemary, Joel and Allen discuss the Duke Energy sale of its renewables business to Brookfield Renewable for a massive $2.8B. The RWE merger with Con Edison makes it the #4 renewable energy company in the US. RWE also locked-in ship provider Jan De Nul in a multi-year deal - will other operators make similar moves? Balmoral has a new product to prevent scour at fixed bottom offshore turbines. Kansas State goes back-to-back in the Collegiate Wind Competition and our Wind Farm of the Week is Vattenfall's Hollandse Kust Zuid 1.5GW offshore farm!

I'm sure you were watching diligently, like every good football fan does. I watched that game. I made myself watch it. Why? It was important to the people of Manchester. Rosemary Barnes: Oh, the people of Manchester. Important to you, Allen. Allen Hall: It is because that's the home of Oasis. That's valid. They had a really good time in Manchester over the weekend. Let me tell you. It was. Party Central. So, Joel Saxum: so this week on the podcast we're gonna talk about Duke Energy selling some assets to, uh, unregulated assets to Brookfield, uh, renewables, and for 2.8 billion, which is a couple more dollars than the city of Manchester spent on their celebration. Um, Oh, after that, we're gonna get into R W E, becoming the number four renewable company in the US after their, uh, merger or acquisition with ConEd. Uh, and then also staying with r w e, the, the, the big German player there. Uh, tying up with Jan Renewal and some installation vessels for offshore wind in the future. And Allen Hall: then we head over to the UK in particular, Scotland with our Mor and their Hex defense Scour protection, which is, uh, a new design and a, and a patented. Designed to get rid of, scour around, uh, fixed bottom foundations. Rosemary Barnes: And then we're gonna talk about the 2023 Collegiate Wind Competition, which was won for the second year in a row by Kansas State University's Wildcat Wind Power, and then Wind Farm of the Week. This week is in the Netherlands. It's of the South, throughout the Netherlands, LAN se. I'm Allen Hall: Allen Hall, president of Weather Garden, lightly taken. I'm here with the Vice President of North American Sales for Wind Power Lab. Joel Saxon and renewables expert Rosemary Barnes, and this is the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. Duke Energy has announced an agreement to sell its unregulated utility scale commercial renewables business to Brookfield Renewable for approximately 2.8 billion. Joel, that's a nice tidy amount. Brook Brookfield Renewable, uh, is one of the world's largest owners in operators of renewable power, and we'll acquire the business including about 3.4 gigawatts of a utility scale, solar, wind, and battery storage across the United States. Duke Energy, obviously Will, will book a profit of about 1.1 billion before this whole thing is settled. So I think it works out for both sides. Joel. Uh, the approval's gonna end up finishing up the end of this year, so there's, there's a lot of legal going around and contracts and right, and oversight that has to happen before you can close in this kind of business.
Blades fail faster and more frequently than expected - and DNV has done a lot of research on how, and why, that's true. Allen, Joel and Rosemary discuss in detail what DNV describes as Thechallenges of wind turbine blade durability. Since Equinor has more experience in floating wind than anyone else, is the company's decision to postpone its Trollvind offshore initiative "indefinitely" a setback to the industry or a reasonable decision? In the UK, National Robotarium and Fugro are partnering on UNITE, a £1.4m project to develop autonomous and semi-autonomous ROVs capable of conducting subsea inspection, and maintenance and repair tasks.

Allen Hall: Get out. Joel Saxum: I'm telling you, and, and the, you know, what makes me, I'm, I'm super happy for Borealis Wind but Daniela Roeper, if you're listening, why we didn't get the exclusive to, to let this out. Joel Saxum: We don't know. Joel Saxum: Where's the love? Allen Hall: Where is the love? Exactly. Joel Saxum: So we're, we're, we're gonna jump into some things this week. Maybe talk about this FabricAir and Borealis tie up here later on. But what we're gonna discuss now is Equinor actually pausing an offshore floating wind farm just kind of based on basically commercial right now. Joel Saxum: Is what it looks like, the technical side and the commercial side not lining up to be the project they want right now. And then also just a quick segment on e r for wind turbine services. So a project that Fugro's involved with and some other government agencies. To basically electrify and autonomize some of the offshore wind farm maintenance activities in the North Sea. Joel Saxum: And then we take a look at the recent publication from DNV on the challenges of wind turbine blade durability, and we ask Rosemary and Joel their thoughts on the industry leading publication from DNV. Talking about all the, the blade problems that exist and what to do about them. And Joel and Rosemary provide some really good perspectives on that. Joel Saxum: And then our wind farm of the week is the Rattlesnake Road Wind Farm up in Oregon. I'm Allen Hall, president of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and I'm here with the Vice President of North American Sales for Wind Power Lab, Joel Saxum and renewables expert Rosemary Barnes. And this is the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. Joel Saxum: Up in Norway, Equinor has put the Trollvind project on hold due to technical, regulatory and commercial challenges. The project was aimed to address the electrification needs in the oil and gas industry and provide power to the Bergen area. And obviously in Norway, anything offshore is gonna be floating. Joel Saxum: So the, the problem appears to be that the floating technology that they were going after, Wasn't fully developed enough for Equinor and obviously the project financing everything got more expensive over the last couple of years and, and the project didn't make any sense anymore. So they're, they're not necessarily killing it,

I'm your host, Allen Hall, president of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, along with my co-host Joel Saxum vice President of North American Sales for Wind Power LAB and we are here at Wind Europe 2023 in Copenhagen. Denmark and we are fortunate to, fortunate to have with us Chris Che, the director at Blade Bug, to give us an update on all things Blade bug. Chris, welcome back to Chris Cieslak: Thanks very much. I thought fortunate it's the right word, but yeah, pleasure to be back here. I'm very fortunate to be here. Allen Hall: Yeah, thank you. Yeah, so there's a lot has happened since we have spoken to you last, you've been a frequent guest on, on the podcast. Thank goodness. I'm glad to have you, but, Yeah, blade Bugs made a number of improvements. Since the last time we've seen you, we, we saw you last in Hamburg, Germany. You wanna give us an update on things that are happening? Yeah, Chris Cieslak: so when we last spoke in Hamburg, we were presenting our robot and we've been developing and refining our ultrasonic non-destructive testing capabilities on blades. And so we've spent a couple of, we spent winters basically hunker down refining a couple of different OEM systems in our. Platform. So our robotic platform, we've got a, a form of ultrasonic inspection using a, a technology called like four Matrixx capture, which is really interesting. It gives a, a very nice visual indication of, of defects and composites. And then we're also using a more classical ut approach of phased array. Okay. Which gives us, you know, a very consistent approach of inspecting composition that's been used for 20, 30 years. So Allen Hall: why one Chris Cieslak: over the other? Because I think it's, there's, there isn't one shoe that fits all. So it's a case of the ability or the beauty of having a platform such as Blade Bug is you can have a solution, be it with different equipment to overcome a challenge that you're looking for on a blade. Yeah. So if you have a particular issue on a blade in a certain location, it might be that laminate is too thick for the frequency of the probe of one type of equipment. You can change it to your other Thing and go, right, this is, yeah. For this particular area for, for this particular inspection task, I can use this equipment. And for the other one it's, it's that, so okay. It's about having the flexibility to ensure that you can do the job at hand essentially. Right? Yeah. For those Joel Saxum: who don't know blades that well, I mean, you can be in the root section and you can have four inches of, of material. Yeah. You can go out to the tip and you can be down to a quarter inch. Yeah. Right. So having the right tool for the right job gotta have Chris Cieslak: it.
In this bonus episode, Allen and Joel sit with Daniela Roeper, CEO and Founder of Borealis Wind, in Copenhagen to discuss the importance of anti-icing solutions for wind turbine blades. Borealis Wind is a leading company in the wind turbine blade anti-icing sector, and Roeper's innovative technology has helped to increase the efficiency and reliability of wind turbines, making them more viable in colder climates. Daniela explains that icing is a significant challenge for wind turbine operators, as it can reduce energy production by up to 40%. Most turbines are sensitive to ice buildup, and the turbine will stop automatically when ice buildup is detected. Ice can cause fatigue and early life fatigue to the blades and also cause ice throw, which can be hazardous. Borealis Wind offers a solution to the icing problem with blade heating, which is more effective than the solutions offered by some OEMs. Borealis Wind - https://www.borealiswind.com/ Pardalote Consulting at https://www.pardaloteconsulting.com Wind Power Lab - https://windpowerlab.com Weather Guard Lightning Tech - www.weatherguardwind.com Intelstor - https://www.intelstor.com Sign up now for Uptime Tech News, our weekly email update on all things wind technology.

Daniela Roeper: Thank you very much. Allen Hall: So it's been a, it's already been a busy week in Copenhagen and. We're in a place obviously where it's cold. Yeah. Yesterday though, weather it was mi miserable Joel Saxum: this morning too. Yeah. The wind was blowing and it was people head headdresses on and Right. Hats and jackets and Allen Hall: everything. So we see a lot of icing, I assume up here in Denmark and Sweden and Norway we're just in Sweden. A lot of icing, lot of problems. It seems like the not coming from an extremely cold climate where you are from in Canada. Icing is a regular occurrence. Daniela Roeper: Yeah, I think when Canadians are particularly, we work in Quebec, when we look at icing in the rest of the world, it doesn't look that bad. But yeah, it definitely, in these colder climates, there are icing problems. Allen Hall: So the, the operators are losing somewhere upwards. I've seen numbers at, at times of 20, 30, 40% in a particular month in terms of energy production because it just shut down. Yeah. Once ice accumulates, that's it.

Open communication and transparency are the foundation of your company culture. But they can be double-edged swords, given that it's tricky to determine how far you should go with being transparent. According to our guest Marina Golemis, transparency is non-negotiable but still isn't a standard. Also, not all information brings value to your team, so it's critical to at least share the information that can affect their work, performance, results, etc. Marina is the SVP of North American Sales at ShipBob and has over 15 years of experience in sales. She joins our host Christina Brady to share what goes on behind-the-scenes of sales and CS, the difference between the two, and why they should work in tandem.
