Wireless sensor nodes for generic signal conditioning: Application to Structural Health Monitoring of wind turbines

摘要

Condition monitoring, fault diagnosis and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) are an essential part of predictive maintenance. In order to provide early warning of damage, wireless sensor nodes are located at structures, which are often in hostile and hard to access environments. Therefore, there is a need of using sensor nodes with low power signal conditioning electronics, wide range measurement, synchronous data acquisition and reliable signal transmission within large scale-networks.
