A tower of an offshore wind turbine usually has several sections. The sections need to be assembled to form a full tower and be ready for nacelle installation. The assembly work can be performed at a designated sea site but it can be exposed in many risks. Instead, towers can be pre-assembled at...

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) has been extensively used by wind turbine assembly manufacturers for analyzing, evaluating and prioritizing potential/known failure modes. However, several limitations are associated with its practical implementation in wind farms. First, the...
