Optimal group maintenance decision for a wind farm based on condition‐based maintenance

Abstract This study investigated the group maintenance (GM) strategy based on condition‐based maintenance (CBM) of a parallel wind farm with multiple identical wind turbines. In terms of this strategy, the state of deterioration of the system is determined by periodic inspection, with the GM activit...
