The book draws on the author’s experience of power generation reliability and availability and the condition monitoring of that plant to describe the problems facing the developers of offshore wind farms and the solutions available to them to raise availability, reduce cost of energy and improve through life cost. The author is one of the principal international contributors to the measurement and improvement of wind turbine reliability and this book will be based upon his and colleagues work in the area.
