Abstract: For modelling and analyzing a complex system, Petri Nets have been emerged as one of the most important methodology. This method has the capability to model the system with different abstraction levels and can be used both for qualitative and quantitative analysis. This paper presents an availability modelling and analysis of an onshore Wind Turbine (WT). The various subsystems are modelled using a class of Petri Net called Generalized Stochastic Petri Net (GSPN) and the characteristic parameters such as reliability, availability are assessed using simulation as approach. This modelling and analysis method is superior to many similar methods such as Reliability Block Diagram, Markov analysis and Fault Tree analysis. Any complex system can be modelled and analyzed using this proposed approach
