On-line Condition Monitoring for Wind ApplicationsTo ensure high-reliability operation during long-term electricity production in the field, wind turbine operators are demanding state-of-the-art machine health monitoring technology that continuously analyzes the condition of their valuable wind turbine assets. The key to reducing operations and maintenance costs is to detect problems early so corrective action can be inexpensively planned and implemented. Modern embedded monitoring systems such as NI CompactRIO can provide comprehensive machine condition monitoring of all mission critical wind turbine components. The result is a low-cost, modular online wind condition monitoring system with a user-defined hardware and software configuration that can be custom tailored to predict failures and reduce unexpected downtime costs.
