2nd Life Assessment

Turn 2nd life potential into extended operation

Wind turbines reaching their predicted lifetime may have some potential to continue operate for several years. Evaluate the specific 2nd life potential of your wind project.

Turbine condition

Inspection of the wind turbine before and/or after disassembly to evaluate the actual conditions

Assessments for new sites

Comparison of old and new site to check site suitability at the new destination

Residual lifetime

You will receive a 2nd life report determining the residual lifetime to maximize your ROI

What is 2nd Life Assessment?

TÜV NORD experts support the safe relocation, reinstallation and continued operation of wind turbines. Our team assesses the turbine condition, monitors dismantling and inspects the installation. To support informed investment decisions, we offer site-specific engineering evaluations and residual lifetime assessments.
