This paper proposes a novel scheme for extending lifetime of a wind energy conversion
system (WECS) by integrating an online damage evaluation model into a control strategy for …

Wind energy takes an important role in the transformation of the global energy system
towards clean and sustainable sources. The main development of wind energy technology …

Wind turbines components are subject to considerable fatigue due to extreme environmental
conditions to which are exposed, especially those located offshore. Interest in the integration …

This paper presents a new method able to estimate the health condition of components in a
wind turbine based on the on-line information collected about their observable lives. The …

With an annual growth rate of about 30%, wind energy systems, such as wind turbines,
represent one of the fastest growing renewable energy technologies. Continuous structural …

A novel architecture and system for the provision of Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
for offshore wind power generation is presented. The architecture was developed by …

Wind turbines life time is commonly predicted based on statistical methods. However, the
success of statistics-based maintenance depends on the amount of variation in the system …

Wind energy is one of the most rapidly growing renewable sources of energy due to the fact
that it has little negative impact on environment. To meet the growing demand, wind turbines …

Abstract In this contribution, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems applied to wind
turbines (WTs) are considered. Challenges resulting from contradictions between …

With the growth of wind energy worldwide, an increased interest in wind farm control has
become visible, with Active Power Control (APC) and Active Wake Control (AWC) being two …
