Opportunistic Maintenance Model for Wind Turbine Based on Reliability Constraint

Preventive maintenance of wind turbine can effectively improve the reliability of wind turbine. This paper firstly set single component reliability of wind turbine as constraint condition, single component minimum unit time maintenance cost as objective function to obtain optimal maintenance cycle and maintenance times. On this basis, repairing component which meet certain conditions, then build opportunistic maintenance model of wind turbine. Lastly, set the minimum total cost under opportunistic maintenance as objective function, the wind turbine availability as constraint condition, then solve this model to obtain optimal threshold of opportunistic maintenance and minimum total maintenance cost using genetic algorithm. The example analysis shows that the model can effectively save the total maintenance cost. This study has some reference significance for the maintenance department to make the maintenance plan.
