摘要 |
The invention relates to a sensor network for state monitoring of a wind turbine, the sensor network comprising: one or more standard sensor modules, where each standard sensor module comprising a sensor for measuring a parameter of the wind turbine or its surroundings. The wind turbine moreover comprises a processor for receiving input from said one or more standard sensor modules, and data transfer means for transferring sensor output from said one or more standard sensor modules to said processor. According to the invention the data transfer means comprises one or more auxiliary connection points for connection of one or more additional sensor modules, said one or more additional sensor modules being in surplus of the standard sensor modules in a standard set-up of the wind turbine sensor network. The invention thus provides an embedded turbine data acquisition system taking advantage of an existing turbine back-bone network for data transport. |
