Field‐Data‐Based Wind Turbine Reliability Modelling: Quantifying Effects of Operating Age, Design and Technological Development

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT As wind energy continues to expand, ensuring the reliability of wind turbines is critical for optimising operational efficiency and minimising downtime. Based on maintenance data from over 1,000 onshore and offshore wind turbines covering more than 4200 operating years, this study presents an analysis of wind turbine failure behaviour over ...

Modeling, Validation, and Control of the IEA‐15 MW Reference Wind Turbine and VolturnUS‐S Platform

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the acausal modeling, validation, and control of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). The model simulates the IEA‐15 MW reference turbine and the semi‐submersible VolturnUS‐S platform utilizing a Control‐oriented, Reconfigurable, and Acausal Floating Turbine Simulator (CRAFTS), which integrates the key coupled aero ...
