Objective:
The objective of this PG is to provide the state of the art on the reliability of Wind Turbines, as well as their lifetime management.
Overview:
Initially, the scope was as follows:
- AWind Turbine Reliability
- A1Reliability of wind turbines
- A2Failure modes and reliability
- A3Dependability at the design phase
- A4Manufacturing
- A5Structural reliability
- A6Operating experience
- A7Optimization of maintenance
- A8Ageing
- A9Health monitoring
- A10Reliability data
- A11Models of wind, currents
- BWind Mills and the Grid
grid reliability aspects, related to Wind Mills - B1Reliability of networks
- B2Risk/criticality analysis
- B3Smart grid
- B4Impact of natural events
- B5Health monitoring
- B6Reliability data
Start date and intended finish date
Started at the 40th ESReDA Seminar in May 2011
Expected end by December 2016 (an extension of one year will be required in the coming BoD)

New ideas for future development
Nothing for the moment
Highlights
This PG has faced some difficulties due to low participation of the members, although they were very enthusiastic at the kick-off meeting.
An extension of one or two years will be required at the coming BoD, in order to invite new participants to provide additional contributions. Otherwise, the PG can be cancelled or published as it is.
