Abstract

For offshore wind turbines, the cost contribution to Cost of Energy from inspections and Operation & Maintenance can be substantial, and can be expected to increase when wind farms are placed at deeper water depths, further from the coast and in more harsh environments. Estimates of the reliability of structural, mechanical and electrical components are important, in order to optimally plan Operation & Maintenance strategies. A general model for reliability estimation of structural, mechanical or electrical components is described. For a representative failure mode a corresponding limit state is considered and related to reliability estimation by taking into account faults e.g. due to failure of an electrical component or loss of grid.
