Santos, F.P., Teixeira, A.P. e Guedes Soares, C. (2015), “Modelling and simulation of the operation and maintenance of offshore wind turbines”, Journal of Risk and Reliability, Vol. 229(5), pp. 385-393

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 challenging and costly, and represents a considerable share of the cost of energy. It is therefore important to identify which factors most influence the turbines’ performance, namely, the availability, overall cost and revenues, so that actions can be taken to minimize their effect. This paper addresses such issue by presenting a parametric study on how the variation on failure and repair models, vessels logistic times, weather windows and waiting times affect a wind turbine performance. Offshore failure models/data are not usually available on the public domain, being obtained herein from onshore ones using an empirical approach based on stress factors for mechanical systems. The baseline model results from the optimization of an operation and maintenance strategy based on corrective maintenance replacements and imperfect age-based preventive maintenance repairs. Generalized stochastic Petri nets with predicates coupled with Monte Carlo simulation are used for modelling and simulation. Results are discussed.
