Obsolescence management solution helps vestas update five wind turbine modules

Vestas is a leading global provider of sustainable energy solutions, designing, manufacturing, installing, and servicing wind turbines across the world. The company has a strong focus on sustainability and has installed over 160 GW of wind turbines in more than 80 countries.

Challenges

Vestas faced the challenge of updating five modules in its wind turbines that were using obsolete components. Vestas required that the new modules be compatible with spare parts and fit into existing models while also reducing costs. Additionally, the requirement specification was outdated, posing further challenges for the project.

Solution

To overcome the challenges, Vestas partnered with DIS/CREADIS to provide a comprehensive solution. The team designed and developed new components with EOL, RoHS, and UL certifications, ensuring a longevity of 15 years. The hardware and software were also designed specifically for spare part applications, and component and design reuse were incorporated. Additionally, a well-defined requirement specification was developed, ensuring form, fit, and function.

Benefits

The solution provided significant benefits to Vestas. The longer lifetime of the new components resulted in cost reduction, and the same module could be used as a spare part, eliminating the need for mechanical updates. Documented requirements, tests, and validation ensured quality and reduced risk, while the global team approach provided cost optimization. Overall, the solution ensured that Vestas could continue to provide sustainable energy solutions to its customers efficiently and effectively.
