The objective of this Grant Opportunity for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) collaborative research project is to understand how a systems approach to operations and maintenance can enhance the effectiveness and profitability of wind turbines. Currently, operation and maintenance concepts and methods are predominantly components-oriented. This project will show that a system-level approach can yield a better trade-off between risks and costs, thereby optimizing an engineered system for overall economic value. The team will develop a way to measure a wind turbine system's holistic performance and tracks its decline over time at a system level. Establishing a system-level metric enables us to actively adjust a turbine's operation and realize a trade-off between near-term power production and system reliability. It also allows the PIs to weigh cost of maintenance against loss in power efficiency, leading to cost-effective decisions of maintenance. The successful development of this new methodology ought to lead to cost-effective operation and maintenance of renewable energy productions, and reduce its overall cost and enhances their marketability (a key to the wind energy's 20percent-by-2030 goal and long-term sustainability). General Electric, a leading enterprise in wind energy, is a research partner of this project. GE's direct participation accelerates the application of the resulting methodologies to actual wind energy operational systems. The collaborative nature of this research and industrial involvement brings industrial perspective to the universities and is training our next-generation workforce in the new energy economy. The system-level concepts and methodologies, once demonstrated in wind energy applications, can go beyond and be applied to other power production systems, as well as automobile systems, aerospace systems, and marine systems.

这项与工业联络（Goali）协作研究项目的赠款机会的目的是了解系统的操作和维护方法如何增强风力涡轮机的有效性和盈利能力。 当前，操作和维护概念和方法主要是面向组件的。 该项目将表明，系统级别的方法可以在风险和成本之间产生更好的权衡，从而优化工程系统的整体经济价值。 该团队将开发一种测量风力涡轮机系统的整体性能，并在系统级别上跟踪其下降的方法。 建立系统级指标使我们能够积极调整涡轮机的操作，并在近期发电和系统可靠性之间实现权衡。 它还允许PI权衡维护成本与功率效率损失，从而导致维护成本有效。 这种新方法的成功发展应该导致具有成本效益的可再生能源生产的运营和维护，并降低其整体成本并提高其销售能力（这是风能的20％逐20个目标和长期可持续性的关键）。 通用电气是风能领域的主要企业，是该项目的研究合作伙伴。 GE的直接参与加速了所得的方法在实际风能操作系统中的应用。 这项研究和工业参与的协作性质为大学带来了工业观点，并正在培训我们在新能源经济中的下一代劳动力。 系统级的概念和方法曾经在风能应用中证明，可以超越并应用于其他电力生产系统，以及汽车系统，航空航天系统和海洋系统。
