In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to formulate reasonable maintenance strategies for wind turbine multi-components and the problem of high operation and maintenance costs
this paper considers the economic relevance of each component and proposes a wind turbine boundary intensity opportunistic maintenance optimization model based on cost-effectiveness ratio. Firstly
based on the boundary intensity process
a hybrid failure intensity model is established to describe the change rule of failure; secondly
the idea of opportunistic maintenance and cost-benefit analysis are incorporated into multi-component preventive maintenance
and the maintenance methods are selected through the cost-effectiveness ratio; lastly
a numerical case study is analyzed with the help of four components of wind turbine
namely
generator
gears
blades
and bearings
and a comparison is made with the model of unconsidered opportunistic maintenance and the Weibull distribution model. The results show that the model in this paper reduces the total cost by 2.76% compared with the model without considering opportunistic maintenance
