Impact of condition monitoring on the maintenance and economic viability of offshore wind turbines (2023)
Journal Article
Yan, R., Dunnett, S., & Jackson, L. (2023). Impact of condition monitoring on the maintenance and economic viability of offshore wind turbines. Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 238, Article 109475. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2023.109475

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...
