A New Approach for Fault Detection, Location and Diagnosis by Ultrasonic Testing
(MDPI, 2020-03)
Wind turbine blades are constantly submitted to different types of particles such as dirt, ice, etc., as well as all the different environmental parameters that affect the behaviour and efficiency of the energy generation ...
Fuzzy Logic Applied to SCADA Systems
(Springer, 2017-06-29)
This article focuses on the monitoring of a wind farm in real time based on big data collected by Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The decision-
making of the type of maintenance to be applied can ...
Maintenance Management in Wind Turbines by Monitoring the Bearing Temperature
(Springer, 2019-06)
Wind turbines are increasing in number, size and market share. It is determined whether they are efficient through operating and maintenance costs. Therefore, one of the main objectives of the wind turbines is to increase ...
