Offshore decisions evaluation

As a numerical example, we consider an offshore wind farm of size N = 5 and four failure mode levels, i = 0, 1, 2, 3. We set the maintenance duration (5= 3, so we therefore have lfc= 0,l,2,3. The maintenance decision is given as i = 1,2,3,4 1 = 4 corresponds to no maintenance being performed. The results are displayed in Table 1. We consider three possible values for the braking factor of the turbines p= 0, 0.5,1. This corresponds to a complete stoppage of the turbines, hdf braking, and no braking, respectively. The maintenance costs used were /= 10 and Cj = 8,12,30. Note that this represents a nonlinear increase in the maintenance cost as the degradation level increases. The experiments were evaluated under three possible levels of current wind conditions w = 1,2,3 and two wind forecasts 1,2. ...
