Review on Monitoring, Operation and Maintenance of Smart Offshore Wind Farms (2211.00221v1)

Abstract: In recent years, with the development of wind energy, the number and scale of wind farms are developing rapidly. Since offshore wind farm has the advantages of stable wind speed, clean, renewable, non-polluting and no occupation of cultivated land, which has gradually become a new trend of wind power industry all over the world. The operation and maintenance mode of offshore wind power is developing in the direction of digitization and intelligence. It is of great significance to carry out the research on the monitoring, operation and maintenance of offshore wind farm, which will be of benefits to reduce the operation and maintenance cost, improve the power generation efficiency, improve the stability of offshore wind farm system and build smart offshore wind farm. This paper will mainly analyze and summarize the monitoring, operation and maintenance of offshore wind farm, especially from the following points: monitoring of "offshore wind power engineering & biological & environment", the monitoring of power equipment and the operation & maintenance of smart offshore wind farms. Finally, the future research challenges about monitoring, operation and maintenance of smart offshore wind farm are proposed, and the future research directions in this field are prospected.
