Abstract
Wind energy is currently the fastest growing source of renewable energy used for electrical generation around the world. Generally, wind turbine systems are designed to be operated for twenty years long, Therefore, various faults in the wind turbine system inevitably occur during their long term period of operation. Especially, rotor shaft, gear-box and generator are installed inside of nacelle, furthermore, some cooling systems for normal operation of these devices are also required. If these cooing systems have failed in their operation, it is impossible for the entire system to be operated normally. In this work, IR(Infra Red) camera based fault detection system for the preventive detection of various cooling systems faults is proposed. To verify the applicability of the proposed system, physical implementation is embodied and various experiments are carried out.
