These must opera e with optimal system performan and against na ural haz rds. Such sy tems state of the art sensing networks.

It can b expected hat composite materials are increas ngly utilized in such applications. The main difficul y posed by their use is that their failure mechani ms are much more compl x. From this perspective, heal h moni oring systems and operatio al s fety evaluation techniques of e ergy generating critical infrastructures were systematically investigated with regard to current status, advantages, disadvantages, and the future development trend of existing systems and techniques sensing, data acquisition and transmission, overall operation and maintenance. © 2019 The Authors.

These must operate with optimal system performance and against natural hazards. Such systems utilize state of the art sensing networks. The still high costs linked to the application of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) does dictate that they are mainly incorporated to structures of high value. It can be expected that composite materials are increasingly utilized in such applications. The main difficulty posed by their use is that their failure mechanisms are much more complex. From this perspective, health monitoring systems and operational safety evaluation techniques of energy generating critical infrastructures were systematically investigated with regard to current status, advantages, disadvantages, and the future development trend of existing systems and techniques sensing, data acquisition and transmission, overall operation and maintenance.
