- Additional information
- Resulting from an international collaboration, this research reported for the first time an opportunistic health-monitoring strategy for a “group” of homogenous systems that are subject to both material degradation as well as environmental stresses such as ice storms and lightning strikes. Evaluation of the performance of the proposed group monitoring strategy showed significant savings in cost of energy and improvements in fault detection of offshore wind turbines compared to when asset components are monitored individually using SCADA systems. Novel stochastic models were also presented to understand how mechanical systems deteriorate under hostile environments as well as estimate remaining useful life.
