Wind turbine condition monitoring dataset of Fraunhofer LBF

Fraunhofer wind turbine dataset contains monitoring data from a 750 W wind turbine, including accelerometers and tachometer, to capture structural response, bearing vibrations and rotational velocity. Additionally, temperatures, wind speed and wind direction have been measured, while weather conditions have been acquired from selected sources. Various damage scenarios, including mass imbalance, and aerodynamic imbalance as well as damages on bearings’ outer race, inner race and roller element have been implemented. The availability of time series data makes the dataset well suited for both machine learning and signal processing-based condition monitoring applications. The availability of heterogeneous sensors has created a dataset particularly suited for information fusion, data fusion, multi-sensor approaches, and holistic monitoring. Experiments were conducted in real-world conditions outside of a controlled laboratory environment, thereby introducing challenges such as variable rotor speed, noise, overloads, and other environmental factors. Consequently, the dataset is qualified for tasks involving uncertainty quantification and signal pre-processing. This document will detail the test equipment, experimental procedures, simulated damage cases and measurement parameters.
