Wind turbine condition monitoring system as a source of diagnostic information

Abstract

The issues relating to the necessity of monitoring the wind turbines’ condition and operation are presented in the study. The wind turbines of high powers, are very expensive and complicated machines requiring appropriate control and high quality technical service. The idea of appropriate technical turbine’s maintaining, combines its high availability and productivity, as well as minimization of the costs related to failures and unexpected damages. Remote diagnostic systems allow obtaining the basic information, making it possible to maintain and appropriate control, use and high quality technical service.
