Component failure (mechanical, structural failure)
How this hazard manifests:
Failure of:
gearbox, rotor blades, generator, controlling sensors, brakes,
Other components:
Coastal erosion; Atmospheric Area Corrosion: (Atmospheric Area = the area above the Splash Zone, which includes the turbine tower;
The Splash Zone (corrosion of equipment, including structural members, tower and equipment securing bolts, from waves and weather); The submerged area;
Typical control measures
Constant functional check of the performance of the turbine. Upkeep of maintenance schedule
