Research on Reliability of Offshore Wind Turbine

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with the enhancement of the Capacity Factor for wind turbines, especially offshore. In particular the work describes analysis of data on a wind turbine drive train to enhance the reliability of components, reduce maintenance time and provide early warning of failures from the understanding of mechanical dynamics.
