... the phenomenon of fault propagation to apply proactive maintenance that will act on the cause of failure to prevent its reoccurrence as well as to improve future system designs. Design/methodology/approach The methodology adopted consists in identifying the different components of a wind turbine...

... will be the main factor in designing and investing in this field. On the other hand, the wind energy forecast provides the possibility of optimal use of available resources. In addition, the produce maximum energy would be possible by identifying wind direction and putting wind turbines in the best position...

...; L = load; W = wind; and R = rotor. In this study, a region in northwestern of Iran was selected to study its potential of wind and solar energy power to install PV panels and wind turbines as renewable energies. The important factors, which should...

.../methodology/approach This is a case study of one of Europe’s leading offshore wind power operators with more than 1,000 wind turbine generators in operation. By focusing on this company, in-depth insights into its operations and maintenance processes are investigated. Findings Lean is identified...
