So, is it time to start thinking seriously about repowering offshore turbines? “It’s probably too soon yet,” WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson told POWER. “But producers are really starting to consider this. It’s not so much that the first generation turbines are aging, but more the fact that advances in turbine size technology are so significant. Operators are thinking, ‘why keep generating with a tiny 500-kW turbine when I can repower with an 8-MW turbine that’s 16 times more powerful—and will generate not only more power, but a tremendous amount more revenue?’ ” - www.powermag.com
