Wind turbine monitoring: Spotting the difference

摘要

Similarity-based modelling software can detect departures from normal wind turbine operation that would otherwise be missed, allowing operators to anticipate problems and take preventive action before the performance and reliability of their turbines are compromised. Wind is unpredictable in predictable ways. The chaotic behaviour of wind makes monitoring and analyzing modern wind turbines a challenge - not only for the owner operators, but also for the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
