CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM AND WIND POWER GENERATION SYSTEM USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A condition monitoring system for monitoring a condition of equipment configuring a wind turbine, the wind turbine including a nacelle rotatably supported on a top of a tower, the condition monitoring system comprising:
- a first detector configured to detect the condition of the equipment;
a monitor device configured to generate a diagnosis parameter based on a detection result of the first detector;
a controller configured to diagnose a failure of the equipment based on the diagnosis parameter; and
a second detector configured to detect a rotation speed of the nacelle,the controller being configured to diagnose whether the equipment has a failure by correcting the diagnosis parameter based on a detection result of the second detector and comparing the corrected diagnosis parameter with a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract
A condition monitoring system for a wind turbine includes: each sensor to sense a condition of equipment; a monitor device configured to generate a diagnosis parameter based on a detection result of each sensor; a data server configured to diagnose a failure of the equipment based on the diagnosis parameter; and a rotation angle sensor for sensing the nacelle'"'"'s rotation speed. The data server is configured to correct the diagnosis parameter based on a sensed result of the rotation angle sensor, and diagnose whether the equipment has a failure by comparing the corrected diagnosis parameter with a predetermined threshold value.

10. A condition monitoring system which monitors a condition of equipment configuring a wind turbine, comprising:
-
a first detector configured to detect the condition of the equipment; a monitor device configured to generate a diagnosis parameter based on a detection result of the first detector; and a controller configured to diagnose a failure of the equipment based on the diagnosis parameter, the wind turbine including; a blade converting wind power to a rotation torque of a main shaft; a nacelle housing a power generator converting the rotation torque of the main shaft to electric power; a tower supporting the nacelle rotatably; and a drive device configured to rotate the nacelle to cause the blade to face upwind, the diagnosis parameter varying as the nacelle rotates, the monitor device being configured to transmit to the controller the diagnosis parameter obtained in a first period before the diagnosis, the controller being configured to generate a threshold value for diagnosing a failure of the equipment, based on the diagnosis parameter in an effective period of the first period, the monitor device being configured to transmit to the controller the diagnosis parameter obtained during a second period after the first period elapses, the controller being configured to diagnose whether the equipment has a failure based on the diagnosis parameter in the effective period of the second period and the threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
