Understanding Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring Systems
Understanding Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring Systems More and more, the wind industry is recognizing the value of condition monitoring. This shift is driven by two major factors:
A Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring System (CMS) is a tool used by the wind power industry to reduce O&M costs and improve wind farm electricity production. Traditionally, anomalies of rotating machinery components are analyzed and detected through sensing of vibration, acoustics, temperature, and oil quality.
The portable wind turbine Condition Monitoring System (CMS) works by integrating advanced vibration measurement and analysis methodology. Fault detection for the acquired acceleration response and high-speed shaft speed signal is carried out using a suite of specifically designed data analysis techniques for wind turbine gearboxes.
However, as part of the wind turbine safety chain, it is an essential part of the WTC. These are usually provided by the OEM, however in some instances where controller access is provided, CMS can be integrated into the WTC to enable remote resets and stops such as ice detection systems.
It is evident from the study of the advancement on condition monitoring systems used in wind turbines that the researchers had emphasized a few aspects. The enhancement of algorithms, could improve the accuracy and efficiency of the condition monitoring systems.
