Study of weather and location effects on wind turbine failure rates. (2012)
Journal Article
Tavner, P., Greenwood, D., Whittle, M., Gindele, R., Faulstich, S., & Hahn, B. (2012). Study of weather and location effects on wind turbine failure rates. Wind Energy, 16(2), 175-187. https://doi.org/10.1002/we.538

Understanding the availability of wind turbines (WT) is vital to maximize WT energy production and minimize the capital payback period. Previous work on this subject concentrated on reliability and the location of WT failure modes rather than root ca...
