Structural Monitoring of Wind Turbines using Sensors Connected via UTP Cable

Journal Title: Carpathian Journal of Electrical Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 1

Abstract

Unpredicted faults that may occur at the wind generators elements affect their economic operation. A promising approach that avoids these faults is the real-time vibrations monitoring. Data measured by the sensors can be transmitted to a monitoring station using wireless techniques, or optical fiber, or UTP cable. The last possibility is the cheapest, but it permits connecting the monitoring station at a limited distance with respect to the monitored turbine. The paper presents the components of the monitoring system and the experimental results related to the monitored wind turbine.
