Diagnosis of Fault and Monitoring of Small Wind Turbine Using Arduino

Abstract

India is the fourth country with the capacity to produce wind power after China, US and Germany. Wind energy has huge potential in the southern and western parts of mainland India along with few offshore wind sites. Wind turbines are one of the most important components in wind farms. Maintenance of wind turbine is time consumptive and expensive. In this paper, we implement fault detection and monitoring system for a small-scale wind turbine simulation using Arduino Uno.
