  • 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.

  • The production of electricity from wind energy is noticed as economic power generation system in the natural resource. Lately, since lots of wind turbine have installed globally, the accidents have increased gradually. In this paper, we classified domestic information for 10 years, information of new energy and industrial technology development organization(NEDO) for 4years and caithness windfarms information forum(CWIF) for 15 years according to part and cause of wind turbine accident. We found that the main causes of accidents are storm, lightening and carelessness. The results of classifying and analyzing the informations, should be used to take measures on the accident prevention of wind turbine.
