Additional information

Failure of the braking system within a wind turbine can lead to the catastrophic loss of the entire turbine structure. This paper describes the application of state of the art condition monitoring to the brake system. An elegant solution was devised which through novel processing of the three phase current signals was able to perform condition monitoring of the hydraulic brake system actuator. This novel approach was practically applied in the European FP7 NIMO project. The positive results show that the approach is applicable to a range of similar sub-systems in other sectors.
