Li. H. and Guedes Soares, C. (2023), Reliability and opportunistic maintenance of floating offshore wind turbines, Advances in Reliability and Maintainability Methods and Engineering Applications: Essays in Honor of Professor Hong-Zhong Huang on his 60th Birthday, Yu Liu, Dong Wang, Jinhua Mi and He Li (Eds.), Springer Nature, Switzerland, pp. 331-354
This chapter reviews the state-of-the-art methods and procedures for the reliability and maintainability of floating offshore wind turbines. First, a new failure identification and critical failure determination schedule is introduced, according to which failure prevention actions are determined. Subsequently, failure rate and reliability analysis models are reviewed, in particular, the assessment of failure rates and of floating offshore wind turbines based on the onshore counterpart data. Finally, an opportunistic maintenance model is described for better scheduling of the maintenance crew, allowing limited preventive maintenance after corrective maintenance. Overall, methods and procedures introduced in this chapter contribute to failure and risk management, reliability improvements, and maintenance strategy planning of floating offshore wind turbines and can apply to other complex systems.
