Design of Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis System in Wind Turbine Based on CAN Bus

Abstract

In this paper, design of a monitoring and fault diagnosis system in Wind Turbine based on CAN Bus have been described. The source of electrical energy is fossil fuels and also natural resources. The electrical energy can be produced by using fossil fuels but it is costlier than the natural resources. The natural resources like wind, thermal, Solar and tidal energy are utilized for the production of electrical energy. In present days the mostly wind energy is used as a natural resources which can reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. But the wind turbine costs extremely higher and it is used in under different environment. Thus, it become necessary for wind turbine to be monitored frequently and it should be automated. This paper describes in detail the monitoring and fault diagnosis system using CAN interface for wind turbines. The parameters used for monitoring and CAN bus interface are described in detail.
