Abstract
A condition monitoring system for a wind turbine includes: each sensor to sense a condition of equipment; a monitor device configured to generate a diagnosis parameter based on a detection result of each sensor; a data server configured to diagnose a failure of the equipment based on the diagnosis parameter; and a rotation angle sensor for sensing the nacelle's rotation speed. The data server is configured to correct the diagnosis parameter based on a sensed result of the rotation angle sensor, and diagnose whether the equipment has a failure by comparing the corrected diagnosis parameter with a predetermined threshold value.
Claims8
A condition monitoring system for monitoring a condition of equipment configuring a wind turbine, the wind turbine including a nacelle rotatably supported on
- a top of a tower, the condition monitoring system comprising:
- a first detector configured to detect the condition of the equipment;
- a monitor device configured to generate a diagnosis parameter based on a detection result of the first detector;
- a controller configured to diagnose a failure of the equipment based on the diagnosis parameter;
- and
- a second detector configured to detect a rotation speed of the nacelle,
- the controller being configured to diagnose whether the equipment has a failure by correcting the diagnosis parameter using a relationship between a dimensionless diagnosis parameter, which is obtained by dividing the diagnosis parameter by a diagnosis parameter obtained during non-rotation of the nacelle, and a dimensionless rotation speed of the nacelle, which is obtained by dividing the rotation speed of the nacelle calculated based on a detection result of the second detector by a maximum speed thereof, and comparing the corrected diagnosis parameter with a predetermined threshold value.
