Li. H., Peng, WW., Huang, C-G. and Guedes Soares, C. (2022), “Failure Rate Assessment for Onshore and Floating Offshore Wind Turbines”, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Vol. 10(12), 1965.
A detailed analysis is performed on a data set of failure and maintenance records from various onshore wind farms located in different geographical areas for the safety, risk, reliability, availability, and maintainability characterization of wind turbines. Specifically, characteristics related to failures, including criticality of failure modes, failure frequencies, failure rates, and lifetime distributions of components, are analysed to support the failure identification and failure prevention of wind turbines. Additionally, characteristics of maintenance, including typical maintenance measures of failures, policies of spare components, delayed maintenance, and related times such as reaction time, travelling time, and mean time to repair, are provided to support the maintenance management of wind farms. Based on the operational data analysis results, a reliability influence factor-based data transformation approach is presented to transfer the onshore data to that of floating offshore ones by modelling the differences toward failure occurrences based on experts' judgments. A comprehensive comparison with existing studies validated the performance of the proposed approach.
