Odal to restart turbines following Norway blade incident

Odal probes blade failure at Norwegian site

Turbines at the 160MW Odal wind farm in Norway are to be turned back on after the site was closed in April following a blade falling from one of the machines.  

Project owners Odal Wind said it expects to have 16 machines in normal operation by the beginning of July.

It added extensive external and internal examinations of all the Siemens Gamesa turbines have been carried out.

The results of the investigations have been reviewed by both the supplier and an independent company with expertise in the field, and the first units are expected to be back in operation within a few days, Odal Vind said.

The cause of the accident has not been fully investigated, the developer added. 

Odal Vind said: “Investigations are still ongoing into the incident where a blade broke off from a turbine on Engerfjellet on 10 April, and there is currently no final conclusion on the cause.

“The incident, however, means that we are monitoring the turbines even more closely. 

“We expect that the remaining turbines will gradually be put into operation during the second half of the year, and that the wind power plant will approach normal operation by the end of 2024.

“There is still a safety distance of 250 metres from the damaged turbine on Engerfjellet. And we also maintain a safety distance of 100 metres on other turbines until they are cleared after the investigations.”
