Method for collecting analysis data from a wind turbine

Abstract

A method for collecting analysis data from at least one wind turbine is disclosed. A baseline representing normal behaviour of the at least one wind turbine, including patterns for switching between operating states of the at least one wind turbine, is established. During operation of the at least one wind turbine, operating data is collected from the at least one wind turbine, the operating data including data related to operating states of the at least one wind turbine. The collected operating data is compared to the patterns for switching between operating states defined by the baseline , and in the case that the collected operating data for one of the at least one wind turbines deviates from the patterns for switching between operating states defined by the baseline by at least a threshold amount, a campaign for collecting analysis data from at least that wind turbine is initiated.
