Abstract

All devices are fabricated from materials that degrade with time. Degradation will continue until some critical device parameter can no longer meet the required specification for proper device functionality. Reliability estimation can assess the current health of a system and predict its remaining life. This kind of analysis is critical to improve safety, optimize scheduled maintenance, reduce life-cycle cost and minimize down time. This work analyses the reliability of a 2MW wind turbine using the Reliability Block Diagram method. The paper compares the reliability estimated in standard environmental conditions and the reliability evaluated considering the real temperature and humidity values acquired using a SCADA system.
