Abstract
The invention relates to a sensor arrangement for use on a wind turbine. The sensor arrangement comprises a rotor blade-related sensor, which is arranged in/on a rotor blade, and a non-rotor blade-related sensor, wherein the sensor signals, which are associated with the rotor blade-related sensor, are processed by fusion with the sensor signals which are associated with the non-rotor blade-related sensor. The invention also relates to a method for operating a wind turbine.
Claims15
A sensor arrangement for use on a wind turbine comprising:
- a sensor group of rotor blade-related sensors which is arranged in or on a rotor blade and comprises elongation and vibration sensors;
- and
- at least one non-rotor blade-related sensor,
- wherein sensor signals associated with the rotor blade-related sensors are processed by fusion with sensor signals associated with the at least one non-rotor blade-related sensor, and
- wherein the fusion of the sensor signals associated with the rotor blade-related sensors and the sensor signals associated with the non-rotor blade-related sensors is performed depending on an operating state of the rotor blades.
