Development of a Maintenance Option Model to Optimize Offshore Wind Farm Sustainment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method that uses a simulation-based real options analysis to determine the value of waiting after obtaining a remaining useful life (RUL) indication from prognostics and health management (PHM) structures within a wind turbine. This methodology potentially allows the threshold for maintenance to be optimized in real-time based on the state of health of the turbine, the anticipated future state of maintenance resources, maintenance flexibility (current and future), and market uncertainties (e.g., anticipated future price and demand for energy).

A New Control Method for Smoothing PMSG-based Offshore Wind Farm Output Power
Nowadays, propagation of wind turbines make challenges to supply safe power to the grid. Because of wind speed changes, supervisors are concerned to wind turbines, be able to produce appropriate electric power during the wind speed changes. As a matter of fact, investors are mostly like to invest on offshore wind farms, because of their more stable and continuous wind speed rather than onshore ...
متن کاملEvaluation of complex system structures in maintenance processes at offshore wind farms
The evaluation of complex system structures has to address the question “Can the model give a true and correct view of the real situation?” The model has to be investigated with regard to functionality, completeness, correctness, reliability and usability. The offshore wind farm in maintenance status is an example for complex system structures. Furthermore the offshore wind farm is not organise...
متن کاملPHM Based Predictive Maintenance Option Model for Offshore Wind Farm O&M Optimization
A simulation-based real options analysis (ROA) approach is used to determine the optimum predictive maintenance opportunity for multiple wind turbines with remaining useful life (RUL) predictions in offshore wind farms managed under outcome-based contracts, i.e., power purchase agreements (PPAs). When an RUL is predicted for a subsystem in a single turbine using PHM, a predictive maintenance op...
متن کاملAPPLICATION OF A DYNAMIC PROGNOSTIC MAINTENANCE POLICY TO offshore wind turbine farms
Many industries identify condition monitoring as a major opportunity to reduce maintenance costs and increase equipment availability. This is also the case for the fast emerging offshore wind turbine technology. However, when considering offshore wind turbine farms, implementation of condition monitoring also introduces a significant capital investment cost. Moreover, condition monitoring syste...
متن کاملDevelopment of a new low-cost procedure for wind farm maintenance with a view to decrease soil pollution
The purpose of this article is to present the development of a wind farm, with a condition monitoring system (CMS) based on control charts as the algorithm, centred on a new index, to prevent soil pollution by oil spills in wind farms. To this end, temperature sensors can be considered as one of the more significant sensors to be employed in this study, because the information obtained with reg...
