Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to monitoring a wind turbine having an electrical component. An exterior temperature and power loss associated with the electrical component is obtained, and a thermal model describing the electrical component is executed, based on the exterior temperature and power loss, to determine an internal temperature of the electrical component. A further thermal model describing the electrical component is executed, based on the internal temperature and an exterior component temperature, to predict a future thermal condition of the electrical component in order to monitor operation of the wind turbine.
