    Abstract : Maximum asset performance is one of the major goals for electric power distribution system operators (DSOs). To reach this goal minimal life cycle cost and maintenance optimization become crucial while meeting demands from customers and regulators. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cost optimization of maintenance scheduling for wind turbines with aging components

    Author : Quanjiang Yu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Integer linear optimization; Age-based preventive maintenance scheduling; Renewal-reward theorem; Weibull distribution; Combinatorial optimization; Wind turbine maintenance; Virtual replacement; Condition monitoring data; Cox proportional hazards method; Linear programming;

    Abstract : A major part of the wind turbine operation cost is resulted from the maintenance of its components. This thesis deals with the theory, algorithms, and applications concerning minimization of the maintenance cost of wind power turbines, using mathematical modelling to find the optimal schedules of preventive maintenance activities for multi-component systems.
