6 FAQs about [Wind turbine generator hoisting monitoring record]
Does early detection of wind turbine failures reduce O&M costs?
Of these expenses, costs associated with unexpected failures account for the highest percentage. Therefore, it is clear that early detection of wind turbine (WT) failures, which can be achieved through appropriate condition monitoring (CM), is critical to reduce O&M costs.
How complex is wind turbine condition monitoring?
Wind turbine condition monitoring is more complex due to the intricacy of the systems and the variety of different turbine makes and models in the field. For monitoring, Figure 3 illustrates the unfaulted (green curve) and faulted (red curve) component distributions, with a fault threshold added.
Can SCADA data be used for wind turbine condition monitoring?
The SCADA system accumulates a large amount of data that contains the health conditions of the wind turbines. Thus, it is interesting to mine the health status-related information from SCADA data for wind turbine condition monitoring. In this article, an ensemble approach is proposed to detect anomalies and diagnose faults in wind turbines.
What is condition monitoring in wind turbines?
Condition monitoring in wind turbines essentially involves optimal sensor placement, vibration analysis, review of failure modes, fault diagnosis and detection, and identification of fault signatures. Predictive analytics also plays a major role in condition monitoring.
Do wind turbine blades need structural condition monitoring?
Wind turbine blades require a robust structural condition monitoring technique as it is an essential component in the wind turbine framework, which cost about 20%–25% of the total turbine cost (New Energy Update, 2017).
What is a prognosis for a wind turbine CMS?
A prognosis for a wind turbine Condition Monitoring System (CMS) estimates when a component will reach the end of its useful life instead of changing future operating conditions to prevent failure. Figure 4 shows a graphical example of the projection of future component health.
