FMMA and FMECA for analysis of reliability of a wind turbine

Abstract

This work is designed to highlight the technical data regarding reliability and maintainability of a modern-day Wind Turbine. With the ever-increasing demand for cleaner energy and reduction of greenhouse gases, Wind Turbines offer a feasible solution in contributing towards a greener future as a whole. In spite of this, they must provide both a reliable form of energy production and an economic benefit to corporations investing in this technology, as an individual wind turbine can be considered a large financial investment, both to set-up and to maintain.
