Prognostics and Health Management (PHM)in the Wind Industry

LLL - DTU

1-3 Months

Lifelong Learning Modules

Course Overview

Do you want to master the fundamentals of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) in the wind energy sector? This course equips you with a comprehensive understanding of PHM principles, methodologies, and technologies. Participants will learn to apply basic PHM strategies and critically evaluate their role in informed decision-making across the design, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance of wind energy systems.

 

Main Goal

To be updated

Skills to be Gained

After this course, you can

  • Explain the fundamental principles, methodologies, and technologies of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) and their application in the wind energy sector.
  • Describe how PHM systems are designed and implemented to monitor and assess the health of wind turbine components during manufacturing and operation.
  • Apply basic model-based and data-driven techniques to predict degradation, failure modes, and lifespan of wind energy systems and components.
  • Use PHM tools to predict potential failures and optimise manufacturing processes and maintenance strategies, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
  • Analyse real-time monitoring data and use diagnostic tools to assess the condition of wind farm assets and identify issues proactively.
  • Evaluate the role of PHM in ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of wind turbines, with particular attention to the challenges and opportunities in offshore wind energy.
  • Critically assess the integration of PHM systems with digital technologies such as IoT, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics for predictive maintenance in the wind industry.
