Vibration Sensors for Monitoring Wind Turbine Performance

Wind turbine operators and maintenance engineers must prevent unplanned outages and costly unscheduled repairs. Detecting low-level vibrations enables early identification of potential issues, provides timely fault warnings, and helps mitigate catastrophic failures. Reliability engineers use vibration diagnostics to determine root causes of problems and establish baseline turbine health.

Wind Power Applications Utilizing Vibration Monitoring for Predictive MaintenanceVibration monitoring is essential for collecting operational data, identifying early-stage faults, and ensuring efficient predictive maintenance in wind power components, including:

• • Turbines
  • Gearbox conditions
  • Bearings
  • Main shaft
  • Tower sway
