Short summary
This study analyses maintenance data from over 1000 onshore and offshore wind turbines, covering 4200 operating years, to assess failure rates, repair times, and maintenance needs. It compares failure rates per turbine and per megawatt, examines time-dependent failure behaviour, and evaluates maintenance interventions. Results show higher onshore failure rates and identify the pitch, control, and converter systems as most critical.
