A Closed-Form Technique for the Reliability and Risk Assessment of Wind Turbine Systems

This paper proposes a closed-form method to evaluate wind turbine system reliability and associated failure consequences. Monte Carlo simulation, a widely used approach for system reliability assessment, usually requires large numbers of computational experiments, while existing analytical methods a...
