Abstract
This chapter describes the main wind turbine inspection and condition monitoring issues. A general introduction about the importance of the wind turbine industry is done from different market point of view. It is remarked the need of the Operational and Maintenance in this industry and in the Levelised Cost of Electricity. It is employed remote Condition Monitoring Systems to continuously evaluate the condition of critical wind turbine components. The main objective is to avoid the catastrophic failures. Certain component faults can be particularly dangerous leading even to complete loss of the wind turbine. A detailed analysis of the main catastrophic failures is introduced. In order to avoid them, the main inspection of wind turbine components is done.
