Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring
It has also become increasingly apparent in recent years that the wind turbine industry has recognised the importance of condition-based monitoring, especially for offshore wind turbines, where access is often limited.To increase reliability and minimise down time, many wind turbine manufacturers, owners and operators are turning to condition-based monitoring systems, aimed at predicting wind turbine maintenance issues, so that operators can quickly and effectively carry out predictive maintenance, repairs and replacements of components when needed, without the need for costly routine maintenance checks and visits. As a result, a condition monitoring system increases operational time, improves site performance and reduces maintenance costs for wind turbines, especially offshore ones.
