Abstract:A wind farm often consists of a number of wind turbines (WTs) operating simultaneously, which not only challenges the operation of the wind farm but makes the condition monitoring (CM) more costly than ever before if each turbine is equipped with a standard commercially available WT CM system (e.g. SKF's WindCon system). With the continual increase of wind farm size, the operator is under increasing pressure to lower the CM cost so that the energy cost can be accordingly reduced in the end.
