Condition-based maintenance methods for marine renewable energy

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016, vol. 66, issue C, 53-78

Abstract: With an increasing requirement to lower the costs of delivered renewable energy, the maintenance costs for marine renewable energy (MRE), due to accessibility issues, are an obvious focal point. In particular, condition-based maintenance and prognostics can help to optimise maintenance activities and forewarn of impending maintenance requirements, mindful of the constrained access to MRE systems due to limited weather windows of sufficient duration.
