Condition monitoring of turbines is an essential part of a maintenance strategy to avoid failures and downtime. Brüel & Kjær Vibro has developed a dedicated monitoring system and has also adopted a service programme with its surveillance centre.
The centre has a team of ISO 18436 certified diagnostic specialists dedicated to monitoring wind turbines. In addition, to facilitate and optimise the diagnosis of faults at an early stage, the centre establishes clear procedures for integrating the information and workflow between the surveillance centre and the operator service departments. Data from all the wind turbines is sent from the data acquisition units in the nacelle of each turbine to the central diagnostic server and database. Brüel & Kjær Vibro also provides a stand-alone solution, which allows the customers to undertake the complete diagnostic and reporting function in-house, or with the assistance of Brüel & Kjær Vibro. Brüel & Kjær Vibro’s online condition monitoring concept for wind turbines is Germanischer Lloyd certified, for both the hardware and service.
