Real-time Monitoring of Wind Turbine Generator Shaft Alignment Using Laser Measurement

Field Demonstration of Real-Time Wind Turbine Foundation Strain Monitoring

Onshore wind turbine foundations are generally over-engineered as their internal stress states are challenging to directly monitor during operation. While there are industry drivers to shift towards more economical foundation designs, making this transition safely will require new monitoring techniques, so that the uncertainties around structural health can be reduced. This paper presents the i...

Real Time Remote Monitoring and Fault Detection in Wind Turbine

In new energy development, wind power has boomed. It is due to the proliferation of wind parks and their operation in supplying the national electric grid with low cost and clean resources. Hence, there is an increased need to establish a proactive maintenance for wind turbine machines based on remote control and monitoring. That is necessary with a real-time wireless connection in offshore or ...

Real-Time Simulation of Doubly Fed Induction Generator for Wind Turbine Applications

This paper describes a real-time simulator of wind turbine generator system suitable for controller design and tests. The simulated generator is a grid-connected doubly fed induction machine with back-to-back PWM voltage source vector control of the rotor. The simulator is based on RT-LAB real-time simulation platform that allows for easy model-to-real-time-target design from Simulink models. T...

Modeling and Real-Time Simulation of a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator Driven by a Wind Turbine

-This paper presents the modeling and real-time simulation of a doubly-fed induction generator driven by a wind turbine in large power systems. The Matlab/Simulink/ SimPowerSystems software is used to develop the model for simulation of electromagnetic transients in power systems. The code generated by the Real-Time Workshop of Simulink is linked to the Hypersim digital real-time simulator. A c...
