    摘要: A method for performing condition monitoring on a plurality of wind turbines of a wind farm comprises for each wind turbine, obtaining at least one vibration signal representing vibrations of one or more monitored components; generating a plurality of faulty frequency indexes on the basis of one or more of the obtained vibration signals, and in such a manner that variations in rotational speed of one or more rotating shafts of the wind turbine are filtered; comparing faulty frequency indexes originating from different wind turbines; and determining the condition of each of the monitored components based on the comparison.

    摘要: A method for performing condition monitoring on a plurality of wind turbines arranged in a wind farm is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: for each wind turbine, obtaining at least one vibration signal, each vibration signal representing vibrations of one or more monitored components of the wind turbine, e.g. moving gear parts or bearings; generating a plurality of faulty frequency indexes, each faulty frequency index corresponding to a monitored component, each faulty frequency index being generated on the basis of one or more of the obtained vibration signals, and each faulty frequency index being generated in such a manner that variations in the vibration signals introduced by variations in rotational speed of one or more rotating shafts of the wind turbine are filtered out; comparing faulty frequency indexes originating from different wind turbines of the wind farm; and based on the comparing step, evaluating the condition of each of the monitored components of the plurality of wind turbines. The method allows vibration levels of components to be easily compared on wind farm level, and faulty or failing components are easily and reliably detected.

    摘要: Methods and systems for controlling operation of a wind turbine. The method may comprise determining an alarm level for at least one component of the wind turbine. In the case that an alarm level for at least one component exceeds a predefined level, the method comprises estimating an expected remaining lifetime for the component under the current operating conditions, and controlling operation of the wind turbine in order to adjust the expected remaining lifetime for the component to a desired expected remaining lifetime for said component. Thereby, the expected remaining lifetime for the component can be prolonged until the next scheduled service event. Downtime of the wind turbine is considerably reduced, and unscheduled service events are avoided to the greatest possible extent. Mean time between inspections (MTBI) is also extended.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for allocating bandwidth in a wireless network comprising an aggregated uplink carrier formed from a plurality of contiguous uplink component carriers. In some embodiments, a base station allocates bandwidth for UE (User Equipment devices) transmissions within the aggregated uplink carrier during an upcoming TTI (Transmission Time Interval), wherein for the upcoming TTI, the aggregated uplink carrier has an enhanced subframe format with an enhanced PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) region that maps to a continuous frequency range extending across one or more frequency boundaries between one or more of the plurality of uplink component carriers.
