Short summary
A lifetime reassessment of an offshore wind turbine using Kriging meta-models is performed. This method is compared to a full lifetime reassessment using aeroelastic simulations considering all actually occurring combinations of environmental parameters and to the approach according to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61400-3. By using the meta-models, the computing time can be significantly reduced compared to the other two methods, while ensuring a high approximation quality in the prediction of lifetime fatigue loads.
