Gradert skala A-F

None

Students who complete the course are expected to have the following learning outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence:

Knowledge:

• Understand the different types of maintenance strategies (reactive, preventive, condition-based, and predictive) and their applications in wind farm management.
• Gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and logistics involved in opportunistic maintenance for offshore wind farms, with a focus on the coordination of vessels and cranes.
• Learn about the complexities and logistics of opportunistic maintenance in offshore wind farms, including the management of vessels and cranes.
• Comprehend how to use ISO55001 standards and its significance in framing effective maintenance strategies for wind farm operations.

Skills:

• Analyze and interpret data from SCADA and condition monitoring systems to make informed decisions about wind turbine maintenance.
• Develop comprehensive maintenance plans that incorporate reactive, preventive, condition-based, and predictive approaches.
• Employ critical thinking to manage resources, including vessels and cranes, to efficiently address maintenance needs, especially in offshore settings.

Competence:

• Design and implement effective O&M strategies that optimize the performance and lifespan of WFs while reducing operational costs.
• Demonstrate the ability to assess risks and make strategic decisions in maintenance management to prevent downtime and extend the operational efficiency of WFs

• Classroom and online lectures.
• Invited lectures by experts from industry.

The course will be conducted in a hybrid format at OsloMet, allowing students outside of Oslo to participate remotely. It is scheduled to run for three weeks, with lectures held on two days each week. Each lecture day will consist of a four- 45 minute sessions. This adds up to approximately 36 hours of lectures in total.

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• 1 group project report of 900 to 1500 words (written in groups of two)
