Generator wind temperature control temperature

Do temperature-related parameters affect condition monitoring of wind turbines?

In order to conduct a further in-depth exploration of the role of temperature-related parameters in the condition monitoring of wind turbines, this paper proposes a method to assess the condition of wind turbines by analyzing the supervisory control and data acquisition system temperature-related parameters based on existing research.

How can condition monitoring help a wind turbine?

It is demonstrated that the technique can identify dangerous generator over temperature before damage has occurred that results in complete shutdown of the turbine. Condition monitoring can greatly reduce the maintenance cost for a wind turbine.

How to monitor stator winding temperature?

A robust condition monitoring method that integrates AAKR-based empirical estimation and SPRT-based detection is proposed to monitor stator winding temperature in this paper. Auto Associative Kernel Regression (AAKR) is a modeling method to construct normal behavior of turbine generator stator winding temperature.

Why are wind turbine generator components important?

For better annual energy production, wind turbine generator components are expected to perform efficiently and safely. Development of recent high-efficiency generators and motors leading their designs with less cooling capacity. Bearings are one of the most stressed components in the generator.

How do wind resource and grid interactions affect a turbine generator?

For instance, the main bearing, gearbox, and generator (drivetrain) components are interdependent, functioning in unison for efficient energy production. Hence, wind resource and grid interactions affecting the drivetrain impact the performance and reliability of the turbine generator.

Why are high-speed generators affecting wind turbine design?

This is the main reason high-speed generators have continued to have such an impact on turbine design, especially for onshore applications. Wind turbine generator failures are one of the primary reasons for increased operations and maintenance (O&M) costs and generation asset downtime.
