Integrated Maintenance Decision Making Platform for Offshore Wind Farm with Optimal Vessel Fleet Size Support System

Abstract

The paper presents a model to coordinate the predictive-preventive maintenance process of Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) with optimal Vessel Fleet (VF) size support system. The model is presented as a bi-level problem. On the first level, the model coordinates the predictive-preventive maintenance of the OWF and the distributed Power System minimizing the risk of Expected Energy not Supply (EENS). The risk is estimated with a sequential Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation model. On the second level the model determining the optimal fleet size of vessels to support maintenance activities at OWF.
