Designing cost-effective inspection and maintenance programmes for wind energy farms is
a complex task involving a high degree of uncertainty due to diversity of assets and their …

With the development of offshore wind power, the reliability analysis of offshore wind
turbines is increasingly significant due to the system complexity and negative impacts in …

With the depletion of fossil energy, offshore wind power has become an irreplaceable

Abstract Risk assessment of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) relies on failure
statistics, which are usually collected from various source. In order to quantify the information …

Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs account for a large proportion of the total costs for
offshore wind energy. Performing a reasonable maintenance strategy is an effective …

Tapered roller bearings (TRBs) are widely employed in large wind turbines as main shaft
supports. The reliability of TRBs is directly related to the operational efficiency and safety of …

This paper presents a system dynamics model to for the degradation of offshore wind farms
(OWFs) optimise O&M planning and asset management, taking into account the effects of …

The existing maintenance strategies of offshore wind energy are reviewed including the
specific aspects of condition-based maintenance, focusing on three primary phases, namely …

A damage mechanism based approach to the structural health monitoring of wind turbine
blades is formulated. Typical physical mechanisms of wind turbine blade degradation …
