UK high voltage engineering specialist EDS HV Group has completed on-line tap changer maintenance work on 66kV/33kV generator transformers at EDF Renewable’s 62MW Teesside offshore wind farm off the northeast coast of England.
EDS is responsible for operations and maintenance of the HV network at the wind farm and the latest job was part of that contract.
EDS asset manager Ryan Murphy said: “Our planned preventative maintenance programme for the generator transformers at Teesside indicated that the condition of the oil within the tap changer compartments was deteriorating.”
EDF recognising the criticality of their transformers were very proactive in bringing us in to carry out this work.
“At EDS, we pride ourselves on having highly skilled resources in-house to carry out such tasks, enabling us to provide an excellent and efficient turnkey solution to the client.”
EDS HV Group is a subsidiary of James Fisher and Sons.
