Abstract
A risk-based inspection planning (RBI) approach applied to offshore wind turbines (OWT) is presented, based on RBI methodology developed in the last decades in the oil and gas industry. In wind farm (IWF) and single-alone locations are considered using a code-established turbulence models including free flow and in wind farm wake turbulence. Limit state equations for fatigue failure and illustrative examples are presented considering linear and bi-linear SN-curves. As part of the results for each case, inspection times are calculated, showing that earlier inspections are needed in-wind farm sites due to the increase of fatigue coming from wake turbulence.
