Wind turbine condition monitoring : technical and commercial challenges (2012)
Journal Article
Yang, W., Tavner, P. J., Crabtree, C. J., Feng, Y., & Qiu, Y. (2014). Wind turbine condition monitoring : technical and commercial challenges. Wind Energy, 17(5), 673-693. https://doi.org/10.1002/we.1508

Deployment of larger scale wind turbine systems, particularly offshore, requires more organized operation and maintenance strategies to ensure systems are safe, profitable and cost-effective. Among existing maintenance strategies, reliability centred... Read More about Wind turbine condition monitoring : technical and commercial challenges.

Monitoring wind turbine gearboxes (2012)
Journal Article
Feng, Y., Qiu, Y., Crabtree, C., Long, H., & Tavner, P. (2012). Monitoring wind turbine gearboxes. Wind Energy, 16(5), 728-740. https://doi.org/10.1002/we.1521

Concerns amongst wind turbine (WT) operators about gearbox reliability arise from complex repair procedures, high replacement costs and long downtimes leading to revenue losses. Therefore, reliable monitoring for the detection, diagnosis and predicti... Read More about Monitoring wind turbine gearboxes.

Condition monitoring of the power output of wind turbine generators using wavelets (2010)
Journal Article
Watson, S., Xiang, J., Yang, W., Tavner, P., & Crabtree, C. (2010). Condition monitoring of the power output of wind turbine generators using wavelets. IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 25(3), 715-721. https://doi.org/10.1109/tec.2010.2040083

With an increasing number of wind turbines being erected offshore, there is a need for cost-effective, predictive, and proactive maintenance. A large fraction of wind turbine downtime is due to bearing failures, particularly in the generator and gear...

Cost-effective condition monitoring for wind turbines (2010)
Journal Article
Yang, W., Tavner, P., Crabtree, C., & Wilkinson, M. (2010). Cost-effective condition monitoring for wind turbines. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 57(1), 263-271. https://doi.org/10.1109/tie.2009.2032202

Cost-effective wind turbine (WT) condition monitoring assumes more importance as turbine sizes increase and they are placed in more remote locations, for example, offshore. Conventional condition monitoring techniques, such as vibration, lubrication... Read More about Cost-effective condition monitoring for wind turbines.

An Intelligent Approach to the Condition Monitoring of Large Scale Wind Turbines (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large Scale Wind Turbines.

In view of the limitations of the condition monitoring (CM) techniques nowadays available for wind turbines (WTs), a fully intelligent condition monitoring technique has been developed in this paper using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). The EMD m... Read More about An Intelligent Approach to the Condition Monitoring of Large Scale Wind Turbines.
