Twelve European offshore wind players led by Iberdrola Renewables, together with the UK’s Cranfield University, have launched a project to cut operations and maintenance costs for wind at sea through the development of advanced monitoring systems and strategies.
The project dubbed ROMEO (Reliable O&M decision tools and strategies for high LCOE reduction on offshore wind) is aiming to move from corrective and calendar-based maintenance to condition-based maintenance through analysing the real behaviour of main turbine components.
