Development of Drive Train Condition Monitoring System for Wind Farm

Abstract:

In this paper, a condition monitoring system for wind turbine drive train is developed. The system integrated multiple type sensors such as vibration, voltage, current, speed, temperature and multimedia to monitor the condition of gearbox. This system is designed to monitor all wind turbine drive train in a wind farm using distributed processors to avoid computational and communication problems. The experiments on a wind farm in north china proved that the system is reliable and valid on abnormal condition detection for wind farm drive train.
