Optimizing Offshore
Turbine Performance through Structural
Health Monitoring
Bachmann White Paper
Introduction
Offshore wind is a rapidly growing industry thanks to an ever-increasing demand for renewable energy.
Wind farm owners and operators are facing multiple challenges such as how best to manage their asset lifecycle, optimize efficiency of production and integrate predictive maintenance.
This white paper investigates three different scenarios where Structural Health Monitoring saw a positive impact on asset management based on data from two operational offshore wind farms in the North Sea.
Structural Health Monitoring is a relatively new approach with the potential to significantly lower the cost of offshore wind and therefore revolutionize the renewable energy market.
