Short summary
We developed a new method to predict when wind turbine parts are likely to fail, allowing maintenance to be planned before costly breakdowns occur. By combining real measurements from turbines with knowledge of how cracks grow in metal, our approach gives more reliable forecasts even when only limited data are available. We also measure how confident the predictions are, helping operators make better decisions. This can reduce downtime and lower the cost of wind energy.
