Video Wind Pick - Harsh wind and teetering wind turbines – the maintenance of offshore wind plants

Head-high waves, harsh wind and teetering wind turbines – the maintenance of offshore wind plants involves many risks. Service technician André Carstens takes us on the high seas to show how you prepare for critical situations.

Even in rough weather, Andre and his team drive to the Baltic Sea and secure the operation of Germany's first commercial offshore wind farm.

With a combined capacity of 48 megawatt, 21 Siemens wind turbines deliver clean electricity for more than 50,000 households.

Having installed more than 1,300 wind turbines at sea so far, Siemens is the leading suppliers of offshore wind power.
