Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) maintenance costs in between 20 - 35% of the lifetime power generation cost. Many techniques and tools that are being developed to curtail this cost are challenged by the stochastic climatic conditions of offshore location and the wind energy market. A generic and OWT centric software packages that can smartly adapt to the requirement of any offshore wind farm and optimise its maintenance, logistics and spares-holding while giving due consideration to offshore climate and market conditions will enable OWT operators to centralise their operation and maintenance planning and make significant cost reductions. This work aims to introduce the idea of a comprehensive tool that can meet the above objectives, and give examples of data and functions required. The package uses wind turbine condition monitoring data to anticipate component failure and proposes a time and maintenance implementation strategies that is developed as per the requirements of HSE and government regulations for working in the offshore locations and at heights. The software database contains key failure analysis data that will be an invaluable asset for future researchers, turbine manufacturers and operators, that will optimise OWT power generation cost and better understand OWT working. The work also lists some prevalent tools and techniques developed by industries and researchers for the wind industry.
