| Objectives | Develop technology which is capable of cost effectively providing prognostic information about the mechanical health of a wind turbine. Install the technology on a wind turbine, and establish normal signatures for the mechanical components, and their variation with operating conditions. Conduct an in-field trial to establish the variability of the data from different wind turbines, and any seasonal variability in the data. Demonstrate the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/model-based techniques to extract prognostic information from the data. Total project cost = 143170, DTI grant = 43561 | |
| Abstract | The requirement to avoid unnecessary and nugatory maintenance becomes critical in the case of offshore wind turbine installations, given the difficulty of routing access. Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) technology could be used to remotely confirm fault conditions at the earliest stage, without the need for conventional methods of inspection, and with minimal false alarms. | |
