Research Project

The planning of rotor blade maintenance processes on onshore wind turbines is located in the field of tactical pre-planning. The objective of the project is to reduce the logistics costs for the maintenance of wind turbines, to use existing capacities more efficiently and to increase the availability of wind turbines. The maintenance processes to be scheduled for a season are planned in such a way that  the capacities of the maintenance teams in particular are used in the best possible way, taking into account legal, logistical and technical conditions. Mathematical decision models as well as exact or heuristic solution methods from the field of operations research are used methodically for this purpose.
