Event Schedule

About the Plenary Session

By popular demand, ESIG is bringing you an electrifying plenary session for Spring 2024 O&M meeting! The topic is lightning, with a focus on practical aspects of maintenance of lightning protection systems. We will hear from speakers about the interaction of lightning and wind turbines, installation of lightning sensors on turbines, LPS measurements, and how to know that your LPS is in good condition. After hearing from the speakers, we will have a discussion with the membership to share experiences and knowledge regarding LPS O&M practices. This discussion won’t strike twice, so bring your questions and be there!

About the Roundtables

The heart of the meeting consists of manufacturer-specific roundtables for user group members only. The format consists of open discussions, moderated by Roundtable Chairpersons, centered on a specific wind turbine component or specific model of wind turbine. The Roundtables provide the opportunity for frank and open discussion among users, who share their information, knowledge and experience.

Participation in the Roundtables is limited to employees of ESIG member organizations that own, operate, or maintain wind generation equipment.
