At present, some 600kW and 750kW wind turbines put into operation earlier in China have exceeded their 20-year design life. For these turbines, the safety, reliability and economy of these turbines are usually evaluated in a reasonable way, so as to formulate life extension or decommissioning strategies to maximize economic benefits. Referring to the current international standards and guidelines, this paper takes a wind farm in South China as an example to evaluate the remaining life and state of the turbines. The external environment data of the met mast is extrapolated to the turbine site, and the load simulation is carried out based on the wind turbine model. The fatigue load set of the turbines under the design load condition and the site-specific load condition is obtained. The possible fatigue damage in the historical operation period is calculated. Combined with the linear damage accumulation theory of Miner, the fatigue of each turbine in the site is obtained by load analogy. The final P90 life is obtained by analyzing the uncertainty factors introduced in the assessment of residual life and health status.
