Paper Title
Implementation Of Wind Turbine System Parameter Monitoring And Data Transmission
Abstract
Wind is a clean and renewable natural resource for power generation. At present, the greatest widespread
solution of wind power generation in the world is based on the wind turbines. Thus, to ensure safe operation of these
turbines, a close health monitoring of is needed. This paper aims in describing the health monitoring system for wind
turbine using Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. This system is accountable for monitoring the tower, blades, shaft, gear
box, generator and overall conditions in nacelle/hub. This includes a variety of sensors for e.g. accelerometers, temperature
sensors, oil/liquid level sensors. It will collect all the parameters from main components of the turbine and sends it to the
control room via RF module/RS232. At Control room through PC (Personal Computer) it is possible to view the current
status of the Wind Turbine using MATLAB. So if there is any possibility of fault occurrence, then it can be predicted and
prevented.
