Abstract

The use of wind energy as renewable energy has increased, especially in offshore wind turbines. Offshore wind turbine components are complex, and extreme operating environment conditions have a high risk of failure. Harsh environmental conditions, such as severe weather, storms, strong winds, and lightning, are the biggest causes of offshore wind turbine component failure. This study aims to identify offshore wind turbine components with a high probability of failure. The study results show that the offshore wind turbine components with the highest probability of failure are the electrical components and the blades. Mechanical components in offshore wind turbines have a lower failure rate than other components. This study serves as a reference for failure prevention measures on offshore wind turbines and maintenance measures to minimize failures on offshore wind turbines.
