Embodiment Construction

[0044] Embodiments described in this patent application document provide methods for integrating risk, reliability and financial risk management of wind turbine extended warranties and long-term full service agreements (FSAs). As described in this patent application document, the present invention combines several novel statistical, engineering, and actuarial methods to create a system for probabilistically estimating planned and unplanned costs. In addition, embodiments described herein include hardware and software architectures for decision support and risk management of wind turbine extended warranty and service agreement combinations. The method described in this patent application document is intended to utilize and statistically fuse information collected about the wind fleet including, but not limited to, configuration and supplier data, supplier quality data, geospatial variables, seasonal effects , turbine status and performance data, operating variables, usage data,...

Abstract

A system for managing risk associated with a full-service agreement (FSA) for at least one wind turbine is provided. The system includes a memory device configured to store data including at least a plurality of service reports regarding the at least one wind turbine and a processor unit coupled to the memory device. The processor unit includes a programmable hardware component that is programmed. The processor unit is configured to analyze, by a text-mining system, text in the plurality of service reports to output failure information regarding the at least one wind turbine, receive, by a top-down simulator, the failure information from the text-mining system to perform a simulation that generates a distribution model, and receive, by a bottom-up simulator, the failure information from the text-mining system to perform a simulation that generates an extrapolation model.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments described in this patent application document generally relate to risk management systems and, in particular, to risk management systems for wind turbine warranty and / or service agreements. Background technique [0002] At least some of the known costs of using wind turbines to generate energy from the wind include fixed capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenditures (OPEX). The OPEX component is crucial in determining the profitability of a wind farm or wind fleet, as unplanned maintenance events can incur costs and downtime, and can even render a wind farm economically unviable. As a result, customers and developers often request extended warranties and / or service agreements from wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Therefore, OEMs need to bear the cost of planned and unplanned maintenance activities in order to earn a pre-agreed fee. For example, these maintenance costs may be due to wear and tear on equipment...
