“…The influence of harmonic interference can also be suppressed or removed by the approach developed by Printelon et al 14,15 However, the effectiveness of these techniques deteriorates as an excitation frequency is close to a natural frequency of a structure. Blind signal separation 20 and transmissibility function manipulation 21 were proposed for time-varying analyses. Some researchers 22,23 attempted to solve this problem through advancing basic modal analysis theories.…”

The strong drive to harness wind energy has recently led to rapid growth of wind farm construction. Wind turbine towers with increased sizes and flexibility experience large vibrations. Structural health monitoring of wind turbines is proposed in the wind energy industry to ensure their proper performance and save maintenance costs. This study proposes a system identification method for vibration-based structural assessment of wind turbine towers. This method developed based on the stochastic subspace identification method can identify modal parameters of structures in operating conditions with harmonic components in excitations. It benefits wind turbine tower structural health assessment because classical operational modal analysis methods can fail as periodic rotation excitation from a turbine introduces harmonic disturbance to tower structure response data. The effectiveness, accuracy and robustness of the proposed method were numerically investigated and verified through a lumped-mass system model. The method was then applied to an in-service utilityscale wind turbine tower. The field testing campaign and modal parameter identification as well as structural assessment results were presented.
