“…), fault repair, equipment spare part management, etc. Therefore, wind power operation and maintenance ships, helicopters, and so on are essential for the daily maintenance of offshore wind farms (as shown in Figure 19), where the ship type directly affects their safety, rapidity, seakeeping, and maneuverability [202,203]. During the operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms, the transportation system can provide accommodation to the crew and technicians and can load, transport, and assemble the fault turbine components.…”

In recent years, with the development of wind energy, the number and scale of wind farms have been developing rapidly. Since offshore wind farms have the advantages of stable wind speed, being clean, renewable, non-polluting, and the non-occupation of cultivated land, they have gradually become a new trend in the wind power industry all over the world. The operation and maintenance of offshore wind power has been developing in the direction of digitization and intelligence. It is of great significance to carry out research on the monitoring, operation, and maintenance of offshore wind farms, which will be of benefit for the reduction of the operation and maintenance costs, the improvement of the power generation efficiency, improvement of the stability of offshore wind farm systems, and the building of smart offshore wind farms. This paper will mainly summarize the monitoring, operation, and maintenance of offshore wind farms, with particular focus on the following points: monitoring of “offshore wind power engineering and biological and environment”, the monitoring of power equipment, and the operation and maintenance of smart offshore wind farms. Finally, the future research challenges in relation to the monitoring, operation, and maintenance of smart offshore wind farms are proposed, and the future research directions in this field are explored, especially in marine environment monitoring, weather and climate prediction, intelligent monitoring of power equipment, and digital platforms.

“…This was implemented using a MC approach to investigate the most cost effective approach to allocate O&M resources. There have also been separate studies done on the impact of individual resources, such as Domínguez et al's [139] work on the use of helicopters for operations and Zhang et al's [140] paper on stochastic network modelling of service vessels.…”

A Review of Predictive and Prescriptive Offshore Wind Farm Operation and Maintenance

et al. 2022

Offshore wind farms are a rapidly developing source of clean, low-carbon energy and as they continue to grow in scale and capacity, so does the requirement for their efficient and optimised operation and maintenance. Historically, approaches to maintenance have been purely reactive. However, there is a movement in offshore wind, and wider industry in general, towards more proactive, condition-based maintenance approaches which rely on operational data-driven decision making. This paper reviews the current efforts in proactive maintenance strategies, both predictive and prescriptive, of which the latter is an evolution of the former. Both use operational data to determine whether a turbine component will fail in order to provide sufficient warning to carry out necessary maintenance. Prescriptive strategies also provide optimised maintenance actions, incorporating predictions into a wider maintenance plan to address predicted failure modes. Beginning with a summary of common techniques used across both strategies, this review moves on to discuss their respective applications in offshore wind operation and maintenance. This review concludes with suggested areas for future work, underlining the need for models which can be simply incorporated by site operators and integrate live data whilst handling uncertainties. A need for further focus on medium-term planning strategies is also highlighted along with consideration of the question of how to quantify the impact of a proactive maintenance strategy.

“…Helicopters while much more expensive can be used as a last resort for crew and component transfer; however even they are limited by wave height due to the risk of helicopter ditching. A helicopter study compares winds, waves and cloud cover on helicopter availability including using persistence and autoregressive moving average forecasts (Dominguez-Navarro et al 2014). The wind direction can impact on helicopter hover (Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand.…”
