LIGHTS OUT!

Raskiftet wind park in a joint venture between three partners: German Stadtwerke München, Norwegian Eidsiva Energi, and Gudbrandsdal Energi also from Norway. The park consists of 31 Vestas wind turbines delivering 370 GWh – that is equivalent to the annual consumptions of 18,500 households.

Typically wind turbines are equipped with aviation lights flashing at regular intervals. However, this is not the case for the wind park Raskiftet on the west side of Osensjøen near Trysil in Norway. Here a 64 metres manlift from the BMS Lift Division operated by BMS Kran Sp z o.o. has helped in installing Vestas InteliLight radar systems. These radars continuously and autonomously scan the wind park’s surroundings with a range of up to 36 kilometres. Whenever an aircraft is detected approaching the wind farm, the aviation lights are turned on. In other words: When no aircraft is anywhere near the wind park, there is no frequently flashing lights as generally seen on wind turbines.

The job at Raskiftet is a result of close cooperation between a leading provider of one-stop solutions for the installation and service of onshore and offshore wind turbines around the globe and the BMS Group.

In early 2018 the partners discussed the use of manlifts for tasks such as blade inspection, turbine installations, and assembly of turbine equipment on tower sections. However, the first project to follow the discussions was the one at the Raskiftet wind park in Norway in the fall of 2018 when the Polish division of the BMS Group assisted during installation of the IntelliLights radars.

A second order followed shortly after – and after entering into a long-term agreement the BMS Group is now looking at new markets like Sweden and Poland.
