OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE RELIABILITY Track: TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION Wednesday, 16 September 2009, 09:00 - 10:30 |

Session description The economic efficiency of offshore wind farms is highly dependent on the availability and reliability of installed wind energy converters. Due to the relative inaccessibility of offshore sites, maintenance and service works have a considerable influence on the operational costs of offshore wind farms. In order to minimise such financial impacts, risks should be identified, quality methods adapted and new technical solutions investigated. This session will present past experiences with onshore applications and will illustrate concepts and methods of reliability assessment and assurance, as well as highlighting examples of adapted technologies. |
