Understanding the spatial variation of the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) of offshore wind is
fundamental for identifying potential areas for the development of this technology. With this …

The determination of maintenance strategies is subject to complexity and uncertainty arising
from variable offshore wind farm states and inaccuracies in model parameters. The most …

Determining and understanding offshore wind turbine failure rates and resource
requirement for repair are vital for modelling and reducing O&M costs and in turn reducing …

While offshore wind energy is showing enormous potential, effective approaches to enhance
its economics are being sought at the same time. The design of maintenance strategy is a …

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 …

One of the key objectives for renewable energy technologies is to reduce the environmental
impact of energy generation. Floating offshore wind technologies have been developed in …

The current work presents a review of wind turbine reliability studies. Thirteen reliability
studies were identified in the scientific literature, highlighting the lack of public reliability …

New wind turbine technologies and designs are being explored in order to reduce the cost
of energy from offshore wind farms. Two potential routes to a lower cost of energy are the X …

Abstract Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated to account for 14%–30% of
total Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) project lifecycle expenditure according to a range of studies …

Offshore wind energy is an essential component of the climate system and plays a crucial
role in addressing climate change. India has a coastline of seven thousand kilometres and a …
