How can we harness sensor driven insights to optimize farm-level profit and offer operational availability guarantees? This paper discusses how the sensor-driven insights can be integrated into operations and maintenance models in wind farm operations to synergize risk and revenue in wind energy.

How does condition-based maintenance impact resilience? In this paper we propose an integrated stochastic optimization model that jointly optimizes operations and maintenance in a multi-microgrid setting, and showcases the impact of condition based maintenance on profitability, reliability and resilience.

How to manage component level maintenance in large-scale wind farm operations? In this paper, an integrated framework that combines i) real-time degradation models used for predicting remaining life distribution of each component, with ii) mixed integer optimization models and solution algorithms used for identifying optimal wind farm maintenance and operations is proposed.

This paper proposes an integrated framework for wind farm maintenance that combines i) predictive analytics methodology that uses real-time sensor data to predict future degradation and remaining lifetime of wind turbines, with ii) a novel optimization model that transforms these predictions into profit-optimal maintenance and operational decisions for wind farms. To date, most applications of predictive analytics focus on single turbine systems. In contrast, this paper provides a seamless integration of the predictive analytics with decision making for a fleet of wind turbines.
