Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic strain estimation for fatigue assessment of an offshore monopile wind turbine using filtering and modal expansion algorithms
TL;DR: In this article, a Kalman filtering algorithm, a joint input-state estimation algorithm, and a modal expansion algorithm are compared for the estimation of dynamic strains in the tower of an offshore monopile wind turbine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural health monitoring of offshore wind turbines using automated operational modal analysis
Christof Devriendt,Filipe Magalhães,Wout Weijtjens,Gert De Sitter,Álvaro Cunha,Patrick Guillaume +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and discuss the approach and the first results of a long-term dynamic monitoring campaign on an offshore wind turbine in the Belgian North Sea, focusing on the vibration levels and modal parameters of the fundamental modes of the support structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
A modal decomposition and expansion approach for prediction of dynamic responses on a monopile offshore wind turbine using a limited number of vibration sensors
Alexandros Iliopoulos,Rasoul Shirzadeh,Wout Weijtjens,Patrick Guillaume,Danny Van Hemelrijck,Christof Devriendt +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a modal decomposition and expansion algorithm is used to estimate the response at unmeasured locations from a limited set of response measurements and a Finite Element Model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operational modal parameter estimation of MIMO systems using transmissibility functions
TL;DR: In this paper, a poly-reference Transmissibility based Operational Modal Analysis (pTOMA) is proposed to identify the system parameters while the excitation may contain (varying) harmonics or strong coloration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring resonant frequencies and damping values of an offshore wind turbine in parked conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the first results of a long-term monitoring campaign on an offshore wind turbine in the Belgian North Sea are presented, focusing on the continuous monitoring of the resonant frequencies and damping values of the most dominant modes of the support structure.
