There’s been significant hype around repowering wind projects for improved performance, and while excitement is warranted, it can also fall short of expectations. This session will take a look at the real life good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of repowering. Experienced panelists will discuss important considerations before jumping into the repowering fray - the critical engineering reviews of reusing foundations and towers, benefits and challenges between drive train replacement versus a complete nacelle replacement, and pitfalls that an owner operator may face. Hear the pros and cons of a partial versus full repower and the reality behind the claim of a renewed 25-30 year project life of a partial repower.
