“…Bakka and Karimi [49] addressed the problem of bond graph methodology as a graphical approach for the modeling of wind turbine generating systems and validated a specific wind turbine generating system. Tapia and Medina [50] proposed a bond graph doubly-fed wind turbine generator control. The bond graph methodology and the concept of bicausality were used to derive and verify the control law system of the wind turbine.…”

Wind power generation is an effective form of clean, renewable energy which operates both on land and offshore. The primary means of converting wind to power is by wind turbines. The issue with wind turbines is high uncertainty of operating environment resulting in low life cycle reliability. Frequent breakdown failures resulting in reactive maintenance is costly which results in downtime and loss of production. FMEA has been used in some cases to develop maintenance schedule but the effect is minimal. This paper investigates a new method of determining faults from adverse operating conditions by bond graph model and combines with the concept of failure mode and effects analysis to simulate the effects of maintenance strategies on the mean time to failure of wind turbine components. The mean time to failure data can then be used to refine the maintenance task with additional inspections and replacements that can prevent breakdown failures and maximize the utilization rate of expensive components.
