It illustrates an outline of relevant maintenance processes required for the operation phase of offshore wind farms as well as on modeling and technical development of a tool that is able to visualize, connect and simulate these processes and combine them with other relevant factors, such as for example stochastic weather generators and other wind farm proprietary aspects. The complexity of relevant factors for the assessment of the quality of offshore wind farms operation only allows for an overview on how to model and assess that quality as a whole. In that regard, this paper will focus on the different stages of depicting and analyzing, from the understanding of relevant players to the interaction between them, the modeling of complex interactions to the visualization in a software and simulation of business processes. In addition, the choices made for different methodologies, such as business process notation BPMN 2.0, or simulation-relevant techniques will be presented, including the given reasons for the choices made.Text/Conference Paper
