Result description

In order to design other processes and products in relation to wind turbines, a reference design was needed. The design specifications were not available from other companies or designers due to IP Protection. The idea behind this was to have a design that would be publically available for this project and all future R&D for wind turbines. This was specifically designed as a larger power turbine as the trend for modern turbines are large power turbines. There is a report summary available. Design verified by DNV (Members of the LEANWIND Industry Advisory Group).

Result description

This is primarily an analysis tool for simulation and optimization of different aspects of an off-shore wind farm. It simulates the maintenance activities and related logistics of off-shore wind farms over a given number of years to estimate key performance parameters such as wind farm availability and operation and maintenance costs. The model was initially designed to target two main user groups: researchers and wind farm developers/operators. In the research area, the main application is the analysis of different operation and maintenance (O&M) strategies, including strategies for logistic support and wind turbine access. The model can serve as a decision support tool for strategic and tactical decision problems.
