  • Publication number: 20190203699
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (200) for monitoring a status of at least one wind turbine. The method (200) comprises: detecting first measurement signals via one or more sensors (210), wherein the first measurement signals provide one or more parameters relating to at least one rotor blade of the at least one wind turbine in a normal status; training a trainable algorithm based on the first measurement signals of the normal status (220); detecting second measurement signals via the one or more sensors (230); and recognising an undetermined anomaly via the trainable algorithm trained in the normal status, if a current status of the wind turbine, determined based on the second measurement signals, deviates from the normal status (240).

  • Publication number: 20190203698
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for determining loads on a wind turbine tower. In a first step (110) of the method (100), bending moments in at least one rotor blade of the wind turbine are determined in order to provide a first variable, which identifies a first force acting on a nacelle of the wind turbine tower. In addition, in a second step (120) of the method (100), a nacelle deflection is determined in order to provide a second variable which identifies a second force acting on the nacelle of the wind turbine tower. Furthermore, a third step (130) of the method (100) comprises entering the first variable and the second variable into a calculation model, which displays the behavior of the tower. A fourth step (140) of the method (100) comprises a determination of loads on the tower of the wind turbine by means of the calculation model.
