Aritficial Intelligence Applications for Maintenance Oriented Health Monitoring of Wind Turbines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes the result of the research in the fields of supervision, failure detection and prognosis, control, maintenance planning and decision support performed for ensuring high level availability of wind turbines and wind farms. This activity is realized in the frame of the EU 7th Framework project ReliaWind: Reliability focused research on optimizing Wind Energy systems design, operation and maintenance: Tools, proof of concepts, guidelines & methodologies for a new generation. Wind turbines are relatively complex electro-mechanical systems, their smooth functioning is an important economical factor. The handling of this complexity is supported by various, applied artificial intelligence techniques and solutions as described in the paper.

متن کاملTowards Life-cycle Management of Wind Turbines Based on Structural Health Monitoring
The integration of structural health monitoring (SHM) into life-cycle management (LCM) strategies can enable wind turbine manufacturers, owners, and operators to precisely schedule maintenance work at minimum associated life-cycle costs. Monitoring data, i.e. structural, environmental, and operational data continuously collected by SHM systems, can effectively be used to capture the structural ...
متن کاملGuaranteeing high availability of wind turbines
Modern wind turbines are relatively “immature” in the sense that they have not been fielded for a sufficient amount of time to assess their long-term viability. Availability, the ability of a system to function when it is required, is a major concern for alternative energy systems. Profits and environmental benefits will be lost if the costs and energy required to maintain a system outweigh the...
