Real-time monitoring of wind turbine blade alignment using laser measurement
Mankowski, O.; Wang, Q.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is focused on using laser based metrology techniques to capture the positional changes of wind turbines in service and aligning drivelines in the turbines. In this way the mechanical operation, and therefore the aerodynamic design and loading predictions, of the turbine can be more accurately predicted and thus lead to greater optimization and improved efficiencies. In order to perform real-time blade alignment, a laboratory test rig has been created that operates at the typical rotational rates of a wind turbine. This test will be conducted on both the radial misalignment and axial angular misalignment for a range of rotational speeds and torque loads. As such, a relationship for variation in alignment by rotational speed and torque will be determined, as well as presenting a method for real-time analysis of wind turbine blade alignment. Tests will also be conducted showing misalignment, and hence will show when the blade enters a state of requiring re-alignment.
