Reliability analysis of wind turbine at high uncertain wind

Abstract

Wind energy plays a vital role in the renewable energy scenario of newlinethe world The wind turbine systems have complex components which are newlinerepairable The failure characteristics of the onshore wind turbines depend on newlinethe terrain and climatic conditions Even though mountain passes and hill newlineareas are highly suitable for wind turbine installations there is a heavy newlineuncertainty in the wind pattern due to the frequent changes in the direction newlineand velocity of wind It causes a rapid failure in the individual sub assemblies newlineIt is a surprise that the failure rate has rapidly increased during normal newlineoperating period of the wind turbines placed exactly in the mountain pass and newlinehilly area due to the high uncertainty in the wind Hence there is an urgent newlineneed for improving the reliability in wind turbine newline newline
