Towards Quantification of Condition Monitoring Benefit for Wind Turbine Generators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Condition monitoring systems are increasingly installed in wind turbine generators with the goal of providing component-specific information to the wind farm operator and hence increase equipment availability through maintenance and operating actions based on this information. In some cases, however, the economic benefits of such systems are unclear. A quantitative measure of these benefits may therefore be of value to utilities and O&M groups involved in planning and operating wind farm installations. The development of a probabilistic model based on discrete-time Markov Chain solved via Monte Carlo methods to meet these requirements is illustrated. Potential value is demonstrated through case study simulations.

متن کاملManaging Gearbox Failure
The wind industry has had a chronic problem with the reliability of its gearboxes [1], [2]. Experience has shown that premature gearbox failure is a leading maintenance cost driver that can easily consume the profit margin from a wind turbine operation. Condition monitoring is already understood to have potential to mitigate this risk by managing gearbox maintenance through the promises of reli...

Implementation of a condition monitoring system is a difficult decision due to many uncertain parameters. This is certainly the case for the wind turbine industry where factors like long logistical times and weather conditions have a major influence on the economic benefit. One of the parameters that is neglected in most of the available literature is the performance of the condition monitoring...
متن کاملReasons for wind turbine generator failures: a multi-criteria approach for sustainable power production
Power generation quantity from wind sector is increasing at much faster rate day by day in the scenario of power systems, which obviously needs reliable operation. Therefore, accurate monitoring and error diagnosis are almost mandatory. This paper aims to identify important errors that affect the performance and can easily detect the faults of wind turbine generators (WTGs). Wind turbines are s...

Given the substitution process of generators using renewable energy sources instead of conventional generators in modern power systems, this paper proposes a Monte Carlo based method to determine an optimal level of this change. At first, LOLE index of the system was calculated without wind power to obtain the reference index. Then, the wind turbine units are replaced with the conventional gene...
