Experimental Validation of Virtual Torque Sensing for Wind Turbine Gearboxes Based on Strain Measurements

ABSTRACT In efforts to reduce the operation and maintenance cost of wind turbines, there is an increasing interest to monitor key turbine quantities such as the torque load on the gearbox. Monitoring the torque paves the way for the calculation of remaining useful lifetime, leading to cost reduction...
