Abstract

Lifetime performance requirements for safety and operations of wind turbines is very important for its competitiveness and further uptake. While significant novelties are observed around the development of new turbines, we are also grappling with challenges related to lifetime performance. On the other hand, new materials, sensors and analysis methods have made it possible to address many such challenges and even develop new paradigms of understanding this sector. However, there is a lack of evidence base on this topic. This chapter discusses some of these limitations, challenges and opportunities around these aspects and the need to create evidence bases with evolving challenges and opportunities.
