Predictive Maintenance for Wind Turbines: Catching Bearing and Gearbox Faults Before They Cascade
Predictive maintenance for wind turbines combines vibration, temperature, lubricant and load data from components such as the main bearing, gearbox, and generator. The goal is to detect and classify developing faults with appropriate confidence, track severity, and support a planned intervention before functional failure. Done well, it can convert an emergency drivetrain repair into a planned intervention during a suitable
