Method for improving reporting of operational data of a wind turbine

A process comprising the steps of:

• generating one or more specific operating parameter values of a wind turbine during operation thereof with one or more sensors (S1, S2, S3, . . . SN);
• transmitting said one or more specific operating parameter values to a control system (CS);
• registering a critical event in said control system (CS when one or more specific operating parameter values corresponds to one or more predetermined criteria for shutting down the wind turbine;
• setting a specific alarm by said control system (CS) a point in time at which a critical event is registered, wherein said specific alarm is reset by said CS at a point in time at which the registration of the presence of said critical event ceases;
• wherein each specific alarm is associated with a corresponding alarm ID, wherein said alarms IDs are grouped into different sectors (SEC 1, SEC 2), each sector corresponding to a specific part of the wind turbine or its installation or operation;
• wherein information from said control system (CS) relating to settings and resetting of one or more alarms corresponding to an individual alarm ID is transmitted to a monitoring system configured to log and store such information;
• said process further comprising the steps of:
• i) registering a time stamp (ST(1), ST(2), ST(3), . . . ST(M)) via a monitoring system (MS) in response to each setting of an alarm ID and registering a time stamp (RST(1), RST(2), . . . RST(3), RST(M)) in response to each resetting of said alarm ID;
• ii) counting the amount of time in the control system (CS) during which an alarm ID corresponding to a specific sector is not set, and transferring information relating to such counting to said monitoring system (MS);
• iii) registering that the wind turbine is not operating properly in a sector over a particular period of time when the monitoring system detects that counting of an alarm ID in step ii) has stopped.
