Despite careful design and workmanship, oscillations occur during the operation of wind turbines; these oscillations continuously subject the structure and materials to mechanical stress.
Lenord + Bauer has developed a special sensor that measures the tower oscillations in real time and transmits the measurements via either a CANopen or EtherCAT interface to the system control. If the stipulated limits are exceeded, the system can be shut down via a safety relay integrated into the sensor.
