High Voltage Operations & Maintenance

We help wind farm generators to maximise their HV network availability and save money by designing and executing excellent operations and maintenance programmes.

Electricity network O&M programmes centred on safety and effectiveness in execution. Savings of up to 70% on your annual HV Network Management costs with our unique O&M programmes.

The Issue

You want to maximise your asset availability and ensure that you can continue to generate clean, green energy.  It’s a delicate balance to get the right maintenance regime in place, at the same time as minimising downtime. You know that data is the key (and you have plenty of it), but you need some help to turn this into an actionable maintenance plan.

Why EDS?

 EDS have years of experience in developing maintenance regimes.  We don’t just churn out maintenance activities, instead we bring strategic thinking and sound engineering analysis to Operations & Maintenance alongside a tried and tested methodology to managing your asset and keeping your network available.  We carry out diagnostic analysis to truly understand the asset, and then develop a detailed plan of protective interventions to keep your asset running smoothly for years to come. The plan is then delivered by our skilled engineers who care as much about your asset as you do.  At the same time, we train up your staff, enabling you to take care of some aspects of your windfarm, saving you up to 70%.  All of the above is supported by our 24/7 control room, to ensure eyes are on your network at all times.
