Abstract
Motivation: The condition monitoring and diagnostic
practices have become significantly important part of
offshore wind farms in order to cut down operation and
maintenance costs. The challenge is to enable Condition
Based Maintenance (CBM) strategy to be implemented to
provide maintenance decisions and services at the right
time i.e. maintenance is performed when it is needed and
not too early and in vain and not too late i.e. causing
breakdown and downtime. CBM implementation is challenging
the complexity and scalability of remote sensing, data
acquisition, data manipulation, state detection, health
and prognostic assessment and advisory generation.
Objective: The paper describes the condition monitoring
and prognostic challenge from both academic and
industrial perspectives and presents their requirements
in order to enable them to cope with multiple and complex
fault and failure mode types and provide cost-effective
monitoring and prognostic techniques.
Method: the paper utilised need gathering techniques
(i.e. interviews, reports, etc.) and a developed
requirements analysis framework in order to provide
traceable and high quality research and development
requirements.
Result: State of the art of PHM, industrial stakeholders'
requirements for CBM strategy and requirement Analysis
framework for better traceability and high quality
elicitation process.
Implication: The requirement elicitation process is
importantly required for current offshore wind farms due
to advanced technological development, rapid scaling up
of systems, and harsher installation sites in order to
achieve a successful CBM strategy and higher level of
cost effectiveness than exists today.
