    Abstract: A condition monitoring system includes a vibration sensor for measuring a vibration waveform of a bearing in a wind turbine generation apparatus and a data processor for diagnosing abnormality of the bearing. In the data processor, an evaluation value computing unit time-sequentially computes an evaluation value that characterizes an effective value of vibration waveform data output from the vibration sensor within a certain time. A diagnosis unit diagnoses abnormality of the bearing based on transition of temporal change of the evaluation value. The evaluation value computing unit computes the minimum value of the effective values of vibration waveform data within a certain time, as the evaluation value.

    Abstract: A magnetizing device includes a magnetization yoke including a pair of magnetization heads confronting each other through a magnetic gap, an excitation coil wound around the magnetization yoke, and a magnetization power supply that supplies a magnetizing current to the excitation coil to generate magnetic flux between the magnetization heads. A magnetic shield is provided on the magnetization yoke. The magnetic shield is spaced apart from one of the magnetization heads with a gap being formed therebetween along a direction in which the plurality of magnetic encoder tracks are arranged. The magnetic shield blocks a flow of magnetic flux that is present outside a defined extension of a flow of the magnetic flux between the pair of magnetization heads. The magnetic shield is of such a geometry that a thickness thereof progressively decreases towards the one of the magnetization heads.

    Abstract: A first vibration sensor measures vibration of a bearing. A second vibration sensor for measuring background noise received by the first vibration sensor is installed so as not to receive vibration of the bearing. A data acquisition device receives a first signal that is a measurement signal of the first vibration sensor and a second signal that is a measurement signal of the second vibration sensor and outputs a third signal obtained by subtracting the second signal from the first signal as data indicating vibration of the bearing.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis device, which is capable of detecting that a vibration sensor is detached from a measurement object, includes a vibration sensor and a control device. The vibration sensor is attached to a measurement object, and measures vibration of the measurement object. The control device determines whether or not the vibration sensor is detached from the measurement object, based on data received from the vibration sensor. The control device calculates a first partial overall value in a first frequency band. The control device calculates a second partial overall value in a second frequency band which is higher than the first frequency band. The control device calculates an index value having a correlation with a ratio between the first partial overall value and the second partial overall value. The control device determines whether or not the vibration sensor is detached from the measurement object, based on the index value.
