WP3

Operations & Maintenance Optimization

About the Workpackage

WP3 aims to develop an O&M optimization model incorporating predictive maintenance of blades based on findings in WP1 & WP2, to assess cost effectiveness brought by blade conditional monitoring, and finally optimize O&M decision-making of a wind farm. The rolling horizon method will be developed to realize the (semi-) coupling of three-time horizon levels to approach a global optimum.
