Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for scheduling maintenance of a component in a wind turbine. The system receives signals from each of the wind turbines in a population of wind turbines. From the signals, the system detects a failure of the component in one of the wind turbine. In response to the detect failure, the system calculates a new life value for the component. The life value is then compared to a threshold value. If the life value is within a specified parameter compared to the threshold value, the system schedules a change of the component in all of the wind turbines in the population.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for scheduling maintenance of a component in each of a plurality of wind turbines in a population comprising: receiving, at a wind turbine controller, an indication that said component in one of said plurality of wind turbines has failed, wherein said failure requires at least one of maintenance and replacement of said component; calculating, using the wind turbine controller, a life value in response to receiving said indication of said failure,…
