    Abstract

    LACobserver is a model based health monitoring (HM) system for wind turbines (WTGs) which provides an intuitive engineering link between load and strength parameters. The present work demonstrates a newly developed LACobserver Fault Detection and Identification (FDI) module for online detection of pitch offset and corresponding root causes. Blade-to-blade pitch offset slowly degrade the WTG performance and results in lower WTG annual energy production and higher structural loads. Thus, a FDI strategy will increase wind turbine efficiency, performance and operational lifetime.
