Wind Turbine Blade Condition Monitoring and Damage Detection by Image-Based Method and Frequency-Based Analysis

摘要

Wind turbine blade condition monitoring is necessary for planning blade maintenance. In this paper, a wind turbine blade condition monitoring and damage detection based on vibration measurement using a image-based system is proposed. Blade are measured in undamaged and damaged conditions under various vibration frequencies and displacement amplitudes. The results were compared and analysed in both time and frequency domains. Then a frequency-based index is proposed to quantify the vibration dynamics and detect the damage.
