Enhancement of company competitiveness and profitability demands continuous, high quality and trouble free production. Technical specifications and the condition of a wind turbine depend on the quality and condition of its significant components, which usually have the biggest impact on production continuity, - cost per KW and the environment. These necessitate intelligent technologies for maintaining the quality of significant components. Thus, it would be mandatory to select the most informative condition monitoring (CM) system and most cost-effective maintenance policy. In this paper, wind turbine problems are specified and described, available maintenance and CM techniques are discussed, and a maintenance solution with clearly specified objectives are suggested, discussed and the potential results are outlined in the end.
