REST ROOM AND The HangOut was invented and manufactured in CHANGING ROOM 2019 in collaboration with the Danish blade repair spe- cialists from Flex Wind A/S. Through its team of highly experienced blade technicians and years of know-how, Flex Wind saw the potential and need for a working PPE & TOOLS STORAGE platform for blade repairs, which offered safe and pro- tected working conditions for the technicians resulting in higher quality of the repairs. The solution is CE certified, approved by DNV and WORKING BENCH patent pending in EU and China. It is an advanced plat- form with refined technical installations, which is raised from the deck of the jack-up and lowered over the tip of the blade using vacuum suction cups. The HangOut con- VACUUM SUCTION CUPS tains all the necessary equipment to make the repairs, and it provides a safe and protected working zone for blade technicians, including a work bench, PPE and tools LIVING ROOM storage, spine boards, monitors, bins, compressors, an exhaust system, high-pressure cleaners, fire extinguish- ers, a rescue hatch and an act-safe rescue system. Furthermore, it is operational in harsher weather AIR CUSHION conditions than tolerated for basic blade repair per- formed using rope or other platform solutions, since it is possible to create the perfect humidity and tempera- ture, and thus the perfect work environment for blade GUIDE SYSTEM repair. This way, HangOut provides significantly more working days per year reducing costs and speeding up large-scale repair and leading-edge erosion campaigns significantly. At the same time, it also offers the oppor- tunity to conduct repairs of much higher quality in the factory-like conditions. The HangOut has a length of 12.4 metre, width of 4.1 metre and height of 3.4 metre.

The contract begins in June 2019. The two companies have been working together closely for more than two years at the offshore wind farm alpha ventus, and their cooperation will now continue at the Riffgat offshore wind farm as a result of the EU tender. The contract includes basic maintenance, troubleshooting, remote fault elimination, spare parts management, maintenance of safety equipment and testing of electrical equipment in accordance with DGUV V3. This makes Deutsche Windtechnik, which operates independently from manufacturers, the first ISP (Independent Service Provider) in the world to provide maintenance for Siemens SWT-3.6 turbines. "We are very pleased to be able to provide the service for this great system technology. Utilising synergies and planning for the long-term enable operators to save significant costs with us. This also applies to the Borkum Cluster that EWE OSS is planning.

  • Press Conference Call Speech of Markus Krebber
    Report on the interim report on the first half of 2020 Press conference call Essen, 13 August 2020, 11:30 a.m. CEST Speech by Markus Krebber, CFO of RWE AG Check versus delivery! Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to welcome you all to our press conference on the results for the first half of this year. The coronavirus continues to cast a shadow over the global economy. There’s hardly anyone who is not affected by this and the virus will continue to present challenges for all of us. Consequently, RWE continues to put great emphasis on the health of its employees. Our top priority is still to ensure that social distancing and hygiene measures are strictly adhered to. My very special thanks go to our employees, as they are doing a great job under these difficult circumstances. Fortunately, the effects of Corona on our operating business have so far been limited: Some of our construction projects in the field of renewables have been delayed, especially in the USA. By year-end, we will be commissioning wind and solar farms with a total capacity of around 1.3 gigawatts, which is less than we had planned. As a result of the coronavirus, the commissioning of some new assets will be postponed until early next year. 1 Ladies and gentlemen, So far, RWE has weathered these challenging times well. This is reflected by the developments in the first six months and underpinned by the following points: 1. Business performance was good, as RWE posted for the first half adjusted EBITDA of 1.8 billion euros, representing an increase of some 18%.
