Real-time monitoring of wind turbine blade alignment using laser measurement (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mankowski, O., & Wang, Q. (2016). Real-time monitoring of wind turbine blade alignment using laser measurement. . https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2016.10.041

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 desi... Read More about Real-time monitoring of wind turbine blade alignment using laser measurement.

Fast quasi-synchronous harmonic algorithm based on weight window function- mixed radix FFT (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Xiao, Y., Zhao, W., Chen, L., Huang, S., & Wang, Q. (2016). Fast quasi-synchronous harmonic algorithm based on weight window function- mixed radix FFT. In 2016 IEEE International Workshop on Applied Measurements for Power Systems (AMPS) : September 28-30, 2016, Aachen, Germany ; proceedings (1-6). https://doi.org/10.1109/amps.2016.7602865

According to the requirements of IEC61850-9-2LE, digital energy metering devices mainly adopt 80×fr fixed sampling rate. When the harmonic analysis is carried out under asynchronous sampling, it will produce large errors due to spectral leakage. Quas...
