HERNANDEZ MONTERO, Fidel E. et al. Condition monitoring system to be applied on wind farms. Rev. cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2011, n.15, pp.17-24. ISSN 1851-7587.

This paper provides a general view of the applications of condition monitoring and fault detection system on wind energy converters. Firstly, implementation feasibility of condition monitoring systems is shown by analyzing several applications of condition-based maintenance on wind energy converters. Secondly, the most critical failures in wind energy converters are described and current trends in such condition monitoring system applications are analyzed. Finally, a low-cost condition monitoring system to be applied in developing countries is proposed.

Keywords : Condition monitoring system; Fault detection system; Wind energy converter.
