The development of offshore wind power has become a pressing modern
energy issue in which the UK is taking a major part, driven by the
need to find new electrical power sources, and avoiding the use of
fossil fuels, in the knowledge of the extensive wind resource
available around our islands and the fact that the environmental
impact of offshore wind farms is likely to be low. However, there
are major problems to solve if offshore wind power is to be
realised and these revolve around the need to capture this energy
at a cost per kWh which is competitive with other practicable
sources. This will depend upon the longevity of the wind turbines
which make up these offshore wind farms. Their availability,
reliability and the efficacy and costeffectiveness of the
maintenance, needed to achieve that availability, are essential to
improve offshore wind lifecycle costs and the future of this
emerging industry. Offshore Wind Turbines addresses these issues
headon and demonstrates clearly to manufacturers, developers and
operators the facts and figures of wind turbine operation and
maintenance in the inclement offshore environment, recommending how
maintenance should be done to achieve low lifecycle costs. The
author is one of the principal international contributors to the
measurement and improvement of wind turbine reliability and this
book is based upon his and colleagues work in the area. This book
will be valuable to wind power production companies, wind turbine
manufacturing companies, wind operation and maintenance engineers,
SCADA and condition monitoring engineers, research students and
final year undergraduate students. This book will also be of
interest to wind turbine technicians and power generation
personnel.
