A simulation tool for maintenance processes of offshore wind farms
Authors: Philip Joschko, Andi Widok, Bernd Page
Abstract
This paper provides an overview over the technical development of a software suite, designed to visualize, connect and simulate relevant processes of the operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms and combine them with other relevant factors, such as for example stochastic weather generators and other wind farm proprietary aspects important to the smooth running of offshore wind farms. The complexity of relevant factors for the assessment of the quality of offshore wind farms operation only allows for an overview on how to model and assess that quality as a whole. In that regard, this paper will mainly focus on the technical development and the different stages of depicting and analyzing, from the understanding of relevant players, to the interaction between those, the modeling of complex interactions to the visualization in a software and simulation of business processes. In addition, the choices made for different methodologies, such as the business process notation BPMN 2.0, or simulation relevant techniques will be presented, including the given reasons for the choices made.
