Condition monitoring dedicated to wind turbines that uses nacelle-mounted DDAU edge units to detect drivetrain faults early despite low speeds, complex gearboxes, and continuously changing wind conditions.
Wind turbines run at low, variable speeds with complex gearboxes in remote and offshore locations, so faults are hard to detect and site visits are costly and weather-dependent.
B&K Vibro's wind condition monitoring uses the DDAU3 edge acquisition unit and VCM-3 with dedicated wind algorithms and power classification to detect drivetrain faults early while suppressing false alarms from changing wind conditions.
Sensors on the main bearing, gearbox, and generator feed a nacelle-mounted DDAU3 edge unit that performs onboard analysis, classifies operating power, and transmits results over the turbine network to monitoring software and remote diagnostic centers.
