TP III.2 Data-driven methods for determining the remaining service life of load-bearing structures

A sub-project in Innovation Area III – Life-Cycle Management of offshore wind turbines and wind farms

Based on the SHM concept from SP III.1, data-driven methods for determining the remaining service life of load-bearing structures are being developed and validated, thus laying the foundation for their acceptance in the certification process.

The main objective of this sub-project is the (further) development of data-driven methods in the co-production phase, so that the remaining service life of load-bearing structures can be estimated even if the data situation is incomplete.

The aim of further development is firstly to use the available data as comprehensively as possible, secondly to investigate the benefits of additional measurement data and thirdly to be able to quantify the uncertainty in the extrapolations.
