Abstract

Wind is an attractive source of renewable energy, and its use has become increasingly important over the last decades all around the world. After this explosion of installations of wind farms, an important concern has arisen concerning several topics in which the goals are to keep the value of the assets of the wind farms and to guarantee long life cycles. The continuous monitoring of the life of the wind turbines and a correct application of maintenance plan contribute to achieving these goals. This chapter first reviews the main principles supporting different strategies of maintenance, later a framework is presented integrating different aspects of the lives of the wind turbine, and finally some methods for the detection of abnormal behavior in wind turbines and for failure risk evaluation are presented applied to some real cases.
