Condition-based maintenance methods for marine renewable energy

This paper focusses on offshore wind, tidal flow and wave energy as target MRE domains and provides a comprehensive review of condition-based maintenance methodologies currently employed in MRE systems. While, of the three energy domains, offshore wind is the more mature, giving the opportunity to propagate such methods to the less mature areas of tidal and wave, there are also many components and challenges which are common to all three domains, e.g. generator systems and grid interface.
