Motivation
Large repairs costs a lot of money
Failure behaviour uncertain and unpredictableSpecialist vessel costs variable and potentially outwith operator control
Image: REpower
Motivation
Failures requiring specialist vessels are less frequent but higher impact:

Objectives
Investigate a range of possible operational strategies
Understand when different strategies are optimal – wind farm size analysisQuantify how sensitive strategies are operational characteristics – failure rate analysis

Future work
Full development of operational map identifying when different strategies are optimalHybrid strategies and linking operational choice to strategic decision making
Further investigation of very far offshore strategies such as ‘maintenance island’
