摘要： A system for detecting rotor blade position and/or rotor blade speed during operation of a wind turbine (1) is provided, the wind turbine (1) including a tower (2) and at least one rotor blade (4). The system comprises a leaky feeder arrangement (10) configured to be mounted at the tower (2) of the wind turbine (1), an RF unit (20) coupled to the leaky feeder arrangement (10) and configured to supply a first radar signal (100) to the leaky feeder arrangement (10) and to receive a second radar signal (200) from the leaky feeder arrangement (10), wherein the second radar signal (200) is reflected from the rotor blade (4) when the first radar signal (100) hits the rotor blade (4), a processing unit (30), and an optical link arrangement (40) interconnecting the processing unit (30) and the RF unit (20). The processing unit (30) is configured to analyse a first signal corresponding to the first radar signal (100) and a second signal corresponding to the second radar signal (200) in order to determine the position and/or the speed of the rotor blade (4). A wind park and a method are also provided.

摘要： A method of determining a blade clearance during operation of a wind turbine is provided, the blade clearance corresponding to a distance between a rotor blade and a tower of the wind turbine. The method includes (a) detecting a rotor blade velocity, (b) emitting a first signal from an observer location, the first signal having a first frequency, (c) receiving a second signal at the observer location, the second signal being reflected from the rotor blade when the first signal impinges on the rotor blade, (d) determining a Doppler shift of the second signal relative to the first signal, and (e) determining the blade clearance based on the first frequency, the Doppler shift, the observer location, and the rotor blade velocity, wherein the step of determining the blade clearance utilizes a mathematical model. A corre-sponding system and a wind turbine comprising such a system are also provided.
