By utilizing condition monitoring information collected from wind turbine components, condition based maintenance (CBM) strategy can be used to reduce the operation and maintenance costs of wind power generation systems. The existing CBM methods for wind power generation systems deal with wind turbine components separately, that is, maintenance decisions are made on individual components, rathe...

Despite rapid and vast development of wind turbines across the Canadian province of Ontario, there is no map available indicating the location of each wind turbine. A map of this nature is crucial for health and environmental risk research and has many applications in other fields. Research examining health and wind turbines is limited by the available maps showing the nearest community to a wi...

Introduction: Wind speed probability at a site has to be modeled for evaluating the energy generation potential of a wind farm. Analytical computation of wind turbine capacity factor at the planning stage of a wind farm is very crucial. Thus, the comparison of Weibull parameters estimation methods and computation of wind turbine capacity factor are the focus of this paper. Case description: Sod...

The growth of wind energy is attributed to the development of turbine size and the increase in number of units in each wind farm. The current modern design of large wind turbines (WT) is directed towards producing efficient, sensitive and reliable units. To achieve this goal, modern turbines are equipped with several devices which are operated with highly advanced electronic circuits. Sensing i...

This paper proposes adaptive Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) wind turbine and direct power control for grid side inverter for transformer less integration of wind energy. PMSG wind turbine with two back to back voltage source converters are considered more efficient, used to make real and reactive power control. The optimal contro...

In order to obtain lower cost of energy for wind turbines fault detection and accommodation is important. Expensive condition monitoring systems are often used to monitor the condition of rotating and vibrating system parts. One example is the gearbox in a wind turbine. This system is operated in parallel to the control system, using different computers and additional often expensive sensors. I...

Wind turbine preview control has recently attracted attention in the literature. This is due to significant load attenuation and power optimization benefits that can be obtained by incorporating wind preview measurements into the turbine control laws. However, the trade-offs between performance, preview time, and actuation rate limits are not well understood. This paper investigates the fundame...
