Offshore Wind Farm Maintenance Scheduling Optimization
Offshore turbine maintenance faces a costly dilemma — service too early and production is wasted, too late and turbines sit idle — while conventional schedulers ignore the hidden cost of turbine production loss. The team built a globally optimal scheduling model that jointly accounts for production loss, overtime labor, and vessel travel cost, solved by a purpose-built genetic algorithm. Validated on real offshore wind farm data, the system outputs complete maintenance Gantt charts, vessel routes, and technician assignments, and has been productized with a leading wind-power enterprise.
