GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING WIND ENERGY MAINTENANCE MARKET - COVID-19 IMPACT

"Wind Energy Maintenance Market Had a Negative Effect Due to disruptions in supply chains and restrictions on workforce mobility"

The Global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The Disruption of Operations Caused by COVID-19 in relation to the Wind Energy Maintenance Market directly affected the growth of the market. Restrictions on the movement of people and supply chains caused most of the negative impact. Also, most of the maintenance processes were either postponed or completely stopped since the movement of technicians to wind farms was restricted due to travel bans, increasing uptime for operators, thus lowering revenues for them. Furthermore, the pandemic also created a backlog on the sourcing of other essential materials and tools, which affected maintenance operations. On the bright side, the pandemic also presented some challenges, for instance the lack of proper maintenance strategies, hence some companies started spending resources toward the digital solutions and remote monitoring technologies.

LATEST TREND

"Utilizing AI and IoT technologies to anticipate and address turbine issues to Drive Market Growth"

WIND ENERGY MAINTENANCE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Scheduled, and Unscheduled

• Scheduled : Maintenance planning in Wind Energy Maintenance market refers to planned regular checks and maintenance services of wind energy turbines and other associated equipment with the aim of maximizing efficiency and lifespan of the equipment. Such approach is usually carried out after a specific period has elapsed that is normally prescribed by the manufacturer or by the practice of maintenance of such installations whereby only key components such as gear boxes, blades and electric installations are targeted. Effectively scheduled maintenance allows operators to minimize the chances of sudden breakdowns occurring, increase the effectiveness of their operations and extend the operational life of their assets.

• Unscheduled : Unscheduled maintenance is maintenance carried out on wind turbines, when they have broken down, or there are performance issues that need to be dealt with as quickly as possible to prevent any production downtime. Such a preventive maintenance condition can lead to adverse consequences such as higher operational expenses and loss of income because power generation activities would be suspended for a certain period due to repair activities. On the other hand, Unscheduled maintenance underscores the need for the real time monitoring and diagnostics, to be able to detect and rectify the problems encountered quickly, therefore ensuring continued deliverability of wind energy systems.

By Application

Based on application, the global market can be categorized into Onshore, and Offshore

• Onshore : Maintenance of onshore wind energy deals with land based windmills which on normal circumstances are cheaper to install and operate when compared to offshore wind energy installations. It consists of periodic inspections, maintenance and breakdown repairs to restore and maintain the performance and efficiency of the turbines. The nature of the onshore sites allows for easier incorporation of maintenance activities which is a positive aspect in achieving minimal maintenance delays and logistical hassles.

• Offshore : The preservation of offshore wind energy includes sustaining the turbines that are located offshore, which poses an entirely different set of challenges including difficult weather conditions and complicated transportation arrangements. Since many of the maintenance activities require accessing the turbines using specialized vessels and equipment, the operations cost and time are increased. However, given the higher energy generation capacity of wind farms installed offshore, extreme care regarding maintenance schedules has to be adopted in order to maximize operational efficiency while minimizing redundancy.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factors

"Growing Investment in Renewable Energy to Boost the Market"

The growing concern for the use of renewable energy sources on a global scale enhances the investment value in wind energy infrastructure and consequently increases the need for maintenance services.
