Wind Turbine Generator Comprehensive and Real-Time Conditions Monitoring System (CRCMS)

Wind turbine generator conditions monitoring system (CMS) is an assisted platform which provides ownership with the optimal strategy about operation and maintenance of wind farm. It can improve the health level of wind turbine generator and enhance the economic benefit of wind farm. Related practical application shows that CMS could greatly decrease the operation and maintenance cost of wind farm, and the key technology development of CMS have became emphasis and difficult point. A novel CMS named comprehensive and real-time conditions monitoring system (CRCMS) based on distributed computation is presented in this paper. It can overcome the volumelimitation of monitoring information in traditional CMS and provide the comprehensive and real-time monitoring to wind turbine. Distributed computation makes local processing of conditions information possible, which greatly increases the information volume of supervisory conditions, improves system reliability and efficiently realizes the comprehensive and real-time monitoring to wind turbine.
