Abstract

High frequency vibration analysis is an NDT technique to assess the structural integrity of a construction. In het NIMO FP7 project, this technique has been customized for the structural condition monitoring of the turbine tower. In this paper we present the results of a long-term monitoring campaign on an operational turbine. We also present the filtering against external effects, notably temperature changes of the structure. We can conclude that high-frequency vibration spectral monitoring is a robust and low-cost evaluation technique towards wind turbine structural integrity.
