Reliability and Risk analysis

Goal: minimize the total expected life-cycle costs → minimize COE (Cost Of Energy) ( gy) Initial costs: dependent on reliability level Initial costs: dependent on reliability level O&M costs: dependent on O&M strategy, availability and reliability y y Failure costs: dependent on reliability

Operation & Maintenance Operation & Maintenance

  • High costs for operation and maintenance for offshore wind farms

Hi h f il ? – High failure rates? – Access difficult: boat, helicopter, … – Limited weather windows Limited weather windows – Loss of production – Mobilization

  • Deterioration processes are always present and associated with

High uncertainty → Maintenance could optimally be planned by using risk-based methods
