DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1761994· OSTI ID:1761994
Sandia's Continuous Reliability Enhancement for Wind (CREW) Program is a follow on project to the Wind Plant Reliability Database and Analysis Program. The goal of CREW is to characterize the reliability performance of the US fleet to serve as a basis for improved reliability and increased availability of turbines. This document states the objectives of CREW and describes how data collected for CREW will be used in analysis. A critical aspect to the success of the CREW project is data input from participating owner/operators. The level of detail and the quality of input data provided dictates the type of analysis that can be accomplished. Options for analysis range from high level availability summaries to detailed analysis of failure modes for individual equipment items. Specific types of input data are identified followed by samples of the type of output that can be expected along with a discussion of benefits to the user community.
