Energy consumption increases due to population growth, industrialization and increased level of comfort. On the other hand, fossil fuels, where most of the energy consumption is provided today, cause climate change and environmental pollution. For this reason, renewable energy sources come to the fore. Among renewable energy sources, wind energy comes to the forefront considering the initial investment and operating costs. Failure and inoperability of wind turbines are among the topics that investors do not want. Considering the mechanical and electrical components of wind turbines, it was observed that the most malfunction was caused by electrical evenings, but the pauses during mechanical malfunctions took longer periods. With the maintenance works to be performed in wind turbines, both malfunctions can be prevented and the downtimes are limited. In this study, the causes of malfunctions in wind turbines and operation and maintenance issues are discussed.

Enerji tüketimi nüfus artışı, sanayileşme ve konfor seviyesinin artmasına bağlı olarak artmaktadır. Diğer yandan, günümüzde enerji tüketiminin çok büyük kısmının sağlandığı fosil yakıtlar, iklim değişikliği ve çevresel kirliliğe neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle de, yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları ön plana çıkmaktadır. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları içerisinde ise rüzgar enerjisi, ilk yatırım ve işletme maliyetleri göz önüne alındığında ön plana çıkmaktadır. Rüzgar türbinlerinde arızalar nedeni ile meydana gelebilecek duraksamalar yatırımcıların istemediği konular içerisinde yer almaktadır. Rüzgar türbinlerinin mekanik ve elektriksel aksamları göz önüne alındığında, en çok arızanın elektriksel aksamlardan kaynaklandığı ancak mekanik arızalar sırasındaki duraksamaların ise daha uzun süreler aldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Rüzgar türbinlerinde yapılacak bakım çalışmaları ile hem arızaların önüne geçilebilmekte hem de duraksama süreleri kısıtlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, rüzgar türbinlerinde meydana gelen arızaların nedenleri ile işletme ve bakım konuları ele alınmıştır.
