DONG Energy has received the internationally recognised ISO 55001:2014 certification for its operation, maintenance and integrity management of offshore wind power assets.
The company ‘Bureau Veritas’, an internationally recognised organisation, was responsible for conducting the certification.
DONG Energy has standardised all its asset management processes, routines and procedures for operating and maintaining its offshore wind farms, while proved a consistent high quality service for its assets.
Michael Simmelsgaard, Head of Operations and Maintenance in DONG Energy Wind Power , said: “This is a big achievement and I’m very proud to see that we’re now harvesting the fruits of a tremendous effort done in standardising our workflows and processes, and I’m proud that we receive this certification.”
Simmelsgaard continued: “This certification confirms the skills and expertise of DONG Energy in connection with the operation and maintenance of offshore wind power assets, ensuring optimal long-term asset utilisation and enabling risk-based decision-making. Going forward, we might be using different technology when we change a filter or a gear box on a 3.6MW turbine in the North Sea compared to an 8MW turbine in the Irish Sea, but the process when doing so will be the same.”
