can we discuses some of necessary requirements to avoid the failures in wind turbine ? And how we can calculate the time that the wind turbine is ready for production?
Unfortunately you can't avoid all failures - to do so would be counter to the second law of thermodynamics. But you can minimise them for a given cost and now we are into economics - what is the cost/reliability curve like for a particular technology. I suggest that you look at ways of minimizing fault propagation through your system so that an individual component failure doesn't destroy the entire device as in your excellent photograph. Minimising fault propagation is an essential aspect of all design, especially in software . . .
Hello,
I agree with Tony Maine that failures always have non-zero probabilities; however, they can be reduced. There are several ways for achieving that target, such as,
1. Condition, and diagnostic-based monitoring,
2. Preventive maintenance,
3. Enhancing the maintainability of the systems through better designs, sufficient logistics, and technical training.
4. Careful selection of protective devices and subsystems and proper setting of their operation constraints.
5. Oversizing and redundancy of components.
Of course, the reliability is accompanied with costs and so the failure. Therefore, optimal techno-economic reliability level should be determined. There are some relevant publications in my RG profile. Please feel free to read them.
Make sure the proper alignments of all load carrying bearings.
