Surveillance and condition monitoring of offshore wind turbines : D5.2-47

This report summarizes results from the activities on surveillance and condition monitoring in work packages WP 5 (2009-2014) and WP B (2015) in the NOWITECH research centre. The research covered both condition monitoring systems, remote inspection technologies and models for estimating and monitoring technical condition of wind turbine components. Furthermore, pre-studies and state-of-the-art studies have been conducted on various topics, such as wireless communication and remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS). This report is restricted to brief descriptions of the research results, whereas further details can be found in the references presented and summarized here.
