Abstract

Wind generators experience a very unusual operating environment with varying duty cycles and ambient conditions. Access can be difficult and maintenance is expensive. This paper will survey different options for monitoring and diagnostics for synchronous and asynchronous wind generators. Current and vibration monitoring as well as flux density measurements are considered in order to diagnose the machines and the drive-train to which they are connected. Gaps are identified and recommendations are made on preferred schemes.
