The target group is final year bachelor students and students pursuing master’s programmes, and maintenance engineers who have educational background in mechanical or civil engineering.
You will explore the fundamentals of commonly used maintenance strategies such as reactive, preventive, condition-based, and predictive maintenance.
Special focus will be given to using SCADA and condition monitoring data to frame maintenance plans.
The course will also discuss the concept of opportunistic maintenance, especially in offshore settings, including the management of vessels and cranes essential for accessing and servicing wind farms (WFs).
By the end of this course, you will be well-prepared to design effective maintenance strategies aligning with ISO55001 standards that optimize the operation of WFs and reduce overall costs.
