Wind Turbine Operations Scotland

AIS Wind Energy has built an impressive reputation within the wind energy industry and is trusted globally to support wind farms from construction to ongoing maintenance and beyond.

We work closely with wind energy providers in Scotland to ensure they maximise the full potential of farms and keep turbines running efficiently and effectively over time.

Our expertise is tailored to each customer’s individual needs – no matter the scale of the project and whether we provide ongoing support or step up to help in an emergency.

Over many years, we’ve built valuable relationships with OEMs and energy providers, as well as sector leading contractors and consultants. This gives Scottish customers access to an impressive network and guarantees that our wind energy support services deliver the best possible outcomes for all parties.

From turbine installation to vital regular maintenance and repair to decommissioning, AIS Wind Energy delivers a complete service. We work on onshore wind farms in Scotland, Wales and the wider UK, Europe and further afield.

Wind turbines need to operate efficiently and safely, and interruptions can affect performance. With our wind turbine maintenance service in Scotland, we can help you optimise the performance of your turbines.

We will help you plan and implement maintenance of all your turbines, programming maintenance in advance and ensuring components are in good condition. Our aim is to identify faults before they cause problems.

We also provide advice on component replacement, including blades, generators, gearboxes and more, reducing chances of failure.

Scheduled maintenance includes:-

• Planning and scheduling of all maintenance
• Maintenance of key wind turbine components including:
• Tower sections
• Coupling between gearbox and generator
• Blades
• Gearbox
• Generator
• Blade Bearings

We do not carry out reactive maintenance on faulty wind turbines or provide fault location services.

To ensure wind farms run efficiently, turbine components may require replacement over time. AIS Wind Energy supports Scottish customers by retrofitting and replacing specialist parts to prolong turbine lifespan and minimise costly breakdowns.

Our experts safely remove broken components before lifting and connecting any new parts and ensuring they run effectively.

Component replacement services include:-

• Planning, method statement and risk assessment
• Isolation of the electricity to ensure safe component replacement
• Disconnection and removal of old parts
• Lifting and positioning on the new component
