    摘要: A wind turbine including a plurality of blades, a micro inertial measurement unit installed on each blade and configured to sense a plurality of detection parameter signals at corresponding installation positions, and a monitoring system configured to monitor an operating state of the blades. The monitoring system includes a signal processing unit configured to obtain a processing parameter signal through calculation based on the detection parameter signals, a signal analyzing unit configured to analyze each analysis parameter signal, selected from the plurality of detection parameter signals and the processing parameter signal, to obtain a fault estimation signal, used to estimate whether a corresponding blade works in a fault state, and a fault evaluating unit configured to evaluate, based on a plurality of fault estimation signals, whether a corresponding blade fails or a probability that the corresponding blade fails.

    摘要: A condition monitoring system for a wind turbine generator includes an orientation sensor installed in a nacelle and configured to detect an orientation of the nacelle and a condition monitoring unit configured to receive an output from the orientation sensor and perform at least any one of recording, analysis, or transmission of a signal. The condition monitoring unit preferably detects, based on the output from the orientation sensor, the movement along the rotation direction of the nacelle associated with a torsional oscillation of the tower. The orientation sensor can also detect slow directional fluctuations that are difficult to detect using an acceleration sensor or the like, and thus, can satisfactorily detect the rotation of the nacelle associated with the torsional oscillation of the tower.
