To the wind industry, to the energy transition, and perhaps most of all, to the sustainability of the planet. Downtime, maintenance, deratings, and other issues all result in lost energy and the industry has been trying to reduce these losses for many years. Why is so much energy being lost, and what can be done to minimize it?
