Short summary
We collate the latest reliability data in operations and maintenance (O&M) for offshore wind turbines, specifically large turbines of 15 MW. We use these data to model O&M of an offshore wind farm at three different sites. We compare two industry-dominant drivetrain configurations in terms of O&M cost for 15 MW turbines and determine if previous results for smaller turbines still hold true. Comparisons between drivetrains are topical within industry, and we produce cost comparisons for them.
