Abstract
Wind turbines are made of several electrical and mechanical components that are subject to several types of failures. Thus, the proper assessment of different failure modes and the selection of proper corrective actions will ensure the continuous and reliable functionality of wind turbines. In this research, the authors introduce a combined hybrid “Failure Modes and Effects Analysis” and “Analytic Hierarchy Process” (FMEA-AHP) method. This hybrid approach will be used to identify and analyze failure risk factors of wind turbine components. Firstly, FMEA is used to assess the impact of each component failure. Secondly, AHP is used to prioritize the severity of failures and the best measures aiming to reduce the risk of individual failures. The proposed measures, in this article, will enhance reliability and reduce operational costs of power generation using a wind turbine.
