Abstract

The optimal allocation of deterioration control in risk-based inspection (RBI) planning is based on the pre-posterior analysis using Bayesian decision theory and expected utility theory. This paper applies the RBI planning in the area of offshore wind turbine foundation structure, aiming to minimize the life-cycle cost which takes the direct cost and the indirect consequence into account. The direct cost refers to the direct loss and the indirect consequence refers to the power loss due to the downtime of wind turbine. A monopile offshore wind turbine structure is analyzed in OpenFAST simulation package to demonstrate how to utilize RBI planning in the field of support structure of offshore wind turbine, in which the environmental condition is taken from the statistical data in North Sea. The case study show that the RBI planning can effectively reduce the expected life-cycle cost of offshore wind turbine.
