  • Method and system for monitoring fluid levels in wind turbine component systems
    Patent number: 7832980
    Abstract: A wind turbine comprising a system for monitoring at least one wind turbine component including a closed fluid circulating system with a fluid reservoir. The monitoring system comprises establishing a level value of the fluid systems reservoir, and establishing at least one environmental value of the fluid systems reservoir or the surroundings of the system. The level value and the at least one environmental value contributing to defining the fluid systems functionality, and the monitoring system further comprises establishing a monitoring value on the basis of the level value and the at least one environmental value.
