Zusammenfassung

High wind speeds, rain and sea states are only one part of the challenging conditions for the operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms. The availability of vehicles, technicians and spare parts are adding additional boundary conditions. To cope with this complexity, decision support tools have been developed for the prioritization of operation and maintenance works performed by individual decision makers. Current decision support tools focus mostly on environmental conditions, logistical setups, associated risks and failure behavior in the installed technology. While some models include decision processes evaluated by experts, present research neglects one important aspect: the evaluation of work prioritization by real human decision makers. This work aims to understand the decision limitations used in present decision support tools. We will create an overview of boundaries, to enable future research of human decision making processes for the advancement of decision support tools.
