Advances in monitoring techniques have led to the increasing use of prognostic information to reduce maintenance costs in wind power systems. However, when the prognostic information is not accurate and comprehensive enough, it is unreliable to determine maintenance actions for wind turbines...

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) aims to reduce maintenance cost and improve equipment reliability by effectively utilizing condition monitoring and prediction information. It is observed that the prediction accuracy often improves with the increase of the age of the component. In this...

By utilizing condition monitoring information collected from wind turbine components, condition based maintenance (CBM) strategy can be used to reduce the operation and maintenance costs of wind power generation systems. The existing CBM methods for wind power generation systems deal with wind...

Few methods are available for optimizing corrective maintenance and time-based maintenance for wind farms, although these strategies are currently widely used in practice. Economic dependencies exist among wind turbine systems and their components in the wind farm. That is, it may be more...
