	abstract = {Wind turbines are commonly designed for an operating life of 
		approximately 20 years. During development, loads based on a standardized 
		wind site are assumed and the components are designed accordingly. During 
		manufacturing, variance between components and deviations from the nominal 
		component properties cannot be avoided. During operation, loads 
		experienced by a turbine might differ significantly from those assumed 
		during development. Combined, these effects lead to changed actual time to 
		failure. Turbines are either overloaded, making them fail before the end 
		of their design life, or they are running with lower than possible 
		performance and some load bearing capacity is wasted at the end of their 
		service life. To better adapt turbine operation to the actual loads 
		experienced by an individual turbine, we propose the use of reliability 
		control. It is based on a closed-loop adaptation process which changes 
		operating parameters such that performance is maximized, but reliability 
		requirements are met. We present the basic concept and give a detailed 
		introduction to reliability control for wind turbines. We also highlight 
		the current challenges for deployment, which mainly lie in the field of 
		condition monitoring.},
