A Classification of the Wind Turbine Accident

Wind turbines can produce an unpolluted electricity getting energy only from the natural resource. It is one of the most economic power generating system among renewables up to now. Currently, ther are many wind turbines in operation world-wide under various external conditions. A wind turbine is composed of many machine components. So it is likely that the many accidents have been occurred in many wind turbines. In this paper, we reviewed "Wind turbine Accident data" of Caithness Windfarms Information Forum 2005. We classified this data and analyzed. The most of wind turbines in our country are foreign product. It is like that application it is possible with information which is important for wind farm operations and maintenance and for the wind turbine design and manufacturing.
