Impact of condition monitoring on the maintenance and economic viability of offshore wind turbines (2023)
Journal Article

This study explores how condition monitoring (CM) can help operate offshore wind turbines (OWTs) effectively and economically. In this paper, the Petri Net (PN) simulation models are developed to quantitatively assess the OWT availability and operati...

Improving the Strategy of Maintaining Offshore Wind Turbines through Petri Net Modelling (2021)
Journal Article

In order to improve the operation and maintenance (O&M) of offshore wind turbines, a new Petri net (PN)-based offshore wind turbine maintenance model is developed in this paper to simulate the O&M activities in an offshore wind farm. With the aid of... Read More about Improving the Strategy of Maintaining Offshore Wind Turbines through Petri Net Modelling.

A study for further exploring the advantages of using multi-load automated guided vehicles (2020)
Journal Article

Maintenance Modelling of Complex Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Automated guided vehicles (AGV's) have been adopted in many industrial applications since their introduction in the 1950's. Although still primarily used for the movement of materials around manufacturing facilities and warehouses they are also used...
