About the Nordtank User Group

TaffEly 

 

This user group has been initiated by Shane Holden at Bord na Mona. Bord na Mona is operating some 20+ years Nordtank turbines and Shane simply asked us if we couldn't create a user group to connect our members, owning Nordtank turbines, in the same way that we are doing for the most commonly owned turbine platforms among our members. So we did and the other four energy companies within O2O WIND, also owning Nordtank turbines have connected their relevant Nordtank people.
 
If you also have ideas or a need for a turbine specific user group to be organised among our members please click here.

  

What is being done in the Nordtank User Group?

 
Operating older machines is a challenge both when it comes to spare parts, software, special tools, committed OEMs, knowledgeable ISPs, certification and estimating remaining useful lifetime of various components. The Nordtank User Group is made to handle these challenges in a collaborative manner. Within the user group we are sharing experiences of various suppliers, alternative suppliers, spare parts, new and alternative solutions on how to operate, maintain and increase power output from these turbines and everything else that could be of use among people directly employed by a wind turbine owner, operating Nordtank turbines.
 
 
 

Your most valuable peers

In our user groups, we are adding the persons being closest to the machine. First, those being at site, which means the site manager, planners, and technicians, depending on who you have on your payroll. Thereafter the engineers solving more long term technical issues for the specific turbine and then the asset manager being in charge for OEM contacts and the overall approach for the specific machine.

Adding the ones being closest to the turbines means those who knows the machine best, are most valuable for the user group and will gain most from the user group.

Conneting wind turbine owners - world wide

O2O WIND has a global reach with members in 22 countries and 5 continents. This global reach also applies on our user groups and for the first one that we introduced at the beginning of 2019, we now have connected energy companies from Melbourne, Australia and Houston, Texas and a lot of countries inbetween.

Your turbines are serial produced products with serial produced weaknesses. If your next operational improvement comes from a valuable peer in Australia, France or Canada doesn't really matter, its the improvements that count.

Good structure and searchability in your peer-to-peer collaboration


forum better

Meetings are great and we arrange these throughout the year, mainly as webinars. Although we rank the activities that goes on between the meetings much higher. Therefore we are connecting the users to our digital collaboration platform, developed since 2014. Within this platform, we have created a subforum for the Nordtank User Group. 
 
Its just like an intranet but used by several companies. This gives our collaboration good structure and searchability for common documents, wikis, discussions etc. You will of course also find documentation from previous meetings.   
 
 

Fast response from your peers

Apps

To make our collaboration faster we have developed our own messaging app, found in Appstore and Google play. With this app you are able to reach out to your Nordtank peers in an instant - world wide. On the app we have a specific channel made only for energy companies owning Nordtank machines. In this way you will not be disturbed and you will know that for every notification there will be a Nordtank peer having a new issue our solution for Nordtank machines.

 

Is your company a member?

 
Please check this link to view if your company is an O2O WIND member. If that is the case your fee is already been paid and user agreement has been signed. You can then simply proceed and register yourself and colleagues in the section below. If your company is not an O2O WIND member pricing and terms are explained below. 
 
 

How to register?

Together with E.ON Climates & Renewables we have created a six-step process to give us the best possible start. Please find the process on this link. Once you have completed we will connect you and your company have a new tool in your toolbox: Your Nordtank MW peers!
 
with your Nordtank peers. Going through this process we shall have a line-up of well-prepared users on the xxth of Xxxxry (date not yet set) for our Nordex 2.3-2.5 MW User Group. Please note that the xxth of Xxxxry is not a meeting where we will inform about future ambition etc, etc. The whole point is to have your users signed up by this date, standing shoulder to shoulder with the other users ready to share knowledge and experience on operating this machine.

 

Our member companies, owning this turbine, have added their people being closest to the machine. What we mean with "being closest to the machine" is explained in step 1 on this link
 

 

Pricing, terms and conditions

 
O2O WIND facilitates for wind asset owners to share data, experiences, and insights within wind farm operations - full stop. That's our only product. All our cashflows come solely from wind turbine owners. We have no sponsors and we have no consultants, software, spare parts or whatever that we will try to sell to you further down the road. We only sell collaboration. For all other product and services, we suggest that you ask your peers at O2O WIND for good references.

 

We supply our owner-2-owner collaboration with a legal framework, developed by our funding partners and efficient formats and collaboration tools. Furthermore, we do our best to also support this collaboration mainly by moderating and being very active behind the scenes.

 

Option 1 - become a regular member
To benefit from these services, being a GE 2.X owner, you can choose two ways: either become a regular member and being able to add on an unlimited number of users and being able to access an unlimited amount of user groups, including the GE 2.X User Group. Pricing for becoming a regular member is MW based and found on the lower end of this page.

 

Option 2 - Single User Group Account
You can also chose to only connect to this specific user group with a Single User Group Account. The annual fee for a Single User Group Account for the GE 2.X User Group is 4.480 €. With a Single User Group Account, you are able to add on an unlimited amount of users to this user group.

Speak directly to the persons behind O2O WIND International

Speak directly with the people who founded O2O WIND and have been following every owner-2-owner conversation ever since. In this meeting you will also have a live viewing of all on-going owner-2-owner collaborations at O2O WIND.

With consent from our members we are aloud to view the actual collaboration, live, under the following three conditions:

  1. O2O WIND staff will guide during the live viewing but the guest will not be allowed access to the platform on their own.
  2. The guest will not tell third party what was viewed on the platform. The most simple version of an NDA is applied.
  3. It will only be shown to wind turbine owners who also fulfill our members condition. In short, this means only wind turbine owners who does not view other wind turbine owners as potential customers - within wind farm operations. 

Initially in our meeting we will ensure that these conditions are met and their after we logon to the actual platform to view directly what our members view.
