New Method to Detect Wind Turbines Faults

Researchers from DTU have developed a simple method for monitoring wind turbines using the symmetry created by the wind turbine when the blades rotate.

Previously, wind turbine monitoring and fault diagnosis have used detailed models or data-driven methods. This has placed significant demands on the model or data, which had to reflect the normal situation extremely accurately in order to detect irregularities—just as it can be very difficult to use these methods for identifying the location of a possible fault on the wind turbine. A new method developed by Associate Professor Henrik Niemann’s research team from DTU Electrical Engineering, as well as DTU Compute... ... More: Official Press Release DTU
