This result is an approach for multidisciplinary probabilistic decision making through the joint effect of fatigue- and corrosion-induced failures on O&M planning for offshore wind farms. The focus is set on the methodology of integrating aero-hydro servo analyses of wind farms (and not only their individual turbines) and subsequent fatigue damage calculations into medium-term decision making (weeks-ahead O&M planning), opening the way for combination with corrosion-related inspections or hypothetical repairs.
Furthermore, an advance control algorithm ad wind farm level is developed, which can track a desired total power to be produced by the wind farm while respecting individual loading limits on wind turbines, based on their corrosion status.
