In this paper, a demodulation technique based on narrowband post-processing is proposed as a wind turbine tower resonance-monitoring tool.This method provides resonance estimation in time domain, and a confidence interval is given per estimation. The algorithm deployment and its capability of circumventing the modulation effect in the dynamics involved in the tower acceleration response make this method an appropriate candidate for post-processing, especially in automated routines.In this work, the impact of the main parameters needed to adjust this algorithm is analyzed. The benefits related to its robustness and computational requirements will be stressed and compared with other demodulation techniques. This will be demonstrated with either modulated synthetic signals or real tower turbine acceleration registers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
