New software tool aims to cut maintenance costs for offshore wind turbines

摘要

Researchers at Robert Gordon University (RGU) in Aberdeen are developing a software tool that aims to 'dramatically cut maintenance costs for offshore wind turbines.' As Yashwant Sinha, a PhD Research Student at the University, explains, the novel software package contains a variety of modules related to various aspects of offshore wind turbine operation and maintenance (O&M) activities, including condition monitoring, financial management, resource management, vendor management and maintenance planning.
