A review of current progress in Condition Monitoring (CM) of wind turbine gearboxes and generators is presented, as an input to the design of a new continuous CM system with automated warnings based on a combination of vibrational and Acoustic Emission (AE) analysis. For wind turbines, existing reportage on vibrational monitoring is restricted to a few case histories whilst data on AE is even scarcer...
Every wind power project has to be financially viable throughout its project life, from an accounting as well as from an investor's point of view. As such it is important to have a thorough and detailed understanding of the future energy output of proposed wind farms. Mr Paul van Lieshout, Wind Power Development Manager, Sinclair Knight Merz (Europe) Ltd discusses the issues.
As indicated in the title this paper deals with the experience attained from operation of hybrid power systems (i.e. systems relying on multiple sources of energy to ascertain continuous operation of telecom equipment with one or more inactive power sources), incorporating wind generators in remote telecom stations located in an arctic environment. Although the functional layout of such systems will...
