The top of a wind turbine is an unusual and challenging location for cargo delivery. Nonetheless, using an autonomous drone, yesterday, we successfully completed a test transport to a wind turbine in an offshore wind farm in operation.
This delivery was the most recent test in a joint project between Ărsted and DSV in which we are testing long-distance drone transport of spare parts and tools. Sometimes, a single missing spare part can cause critical delays and downtime, which can be reduced with quick and efficient delivery using cargo drones.
Jesper Kyed, Product Manager at Ărsted, is excited for the value that the energy company can gain from introducing cargo drones as a logistics supplement for its many offshore windfarms:
âIn Ărsted, we continuously explore new innovative solutions that can improve the efficiency of operating our wind farms. As a planned continuation of last yearâs trial, we have now moved the use of drones further together with DSV, being able to deliver a package directly to our technicians, on the top of the wind turbine where it really matters. It brings down waiting time for spare parts traditionally delivered by boat and can potentially avoid postponing the repair until the next shift. Ultimately, this results in more efficient offshore operations at scale,â he says.
