The offshore environment limits the accessibility to the wind turbines and subjects them to faster degradation processes than in onshore. Thus, operation and maintenance is more …
A bi-objective optimisation using a compromise programming approach is proposed for installation scheduling of an offshore wind farm. As the installation cost and the completion …
An optimisation model is proposed for scheduling the decommissioning of an offshore wind farm in order to minimise the total cost which is comprised of jack-up vessel, barge (transfer) …
The paper addresses repairable multi-unit systems with a series–parallel configuration for which maintenance strategies are modeled by generalized stochastic Petri nets (GSPN) with …
This chapter starts by shortly addressing the statistics of accidents and component failures of wind turbine structures based on a comprehensive dataset publicly available. The …
