  2. Introduction and Aims • Problem • Imbalanced rotors cause serious problems in the operation of Wind Energy Converters (WEC) • Lifespan of components decreases • State-of-the-art balancing methods are expensive • Aims • Includeimbalance determination in Condition Monitoring System (CMS) • Compute absolute value and position from lateral vibration

  3. Introduction • State of the art • Signal processing methods generate alarm system [1] • computation of actual value and position of imbalance not possible • Field measurements with test weights (BerlinWind GmbH) • elaborate and expensive [1] Caselitz, Giebhardt (2005)

  4. General idea • Mathematical formulation of the problem • Replace the experimental model by a mathematical model • Imbalance load p and vibration u coupled by equation • Computation of imbalance from vibration data  Inverse Problem

  5. Procedure Forward Problem: How to get A ? • M, S Mass and stiffness matrix derived from FE-model of WEA • mr absolute value • φ position of imbalance • Solution of vibration equation 

  6. Procedure • Inverse problem • vibrationdata u measured with additional sensor in nacelle • rotational frequency ω constant during measurement • compute mr and φ in p Imbalance and balancing weights Raw data Preprocessed data

  7. Field tests • WEC types • Südwind S77-1.5MW (85 m) • Vestas V80-2MW (78 m) • Vestas V82-1.65MW (80 m) • Vestas V90-2MW (105 m) • Measurements

  8. Field test results Absolute value of imbalance in kgm

  9. Conclusion • all test results within the confidential interval of BerlinWind • new method reliable to quantify mass imbalance • fit for implementation in CMS • Outlook • Test for angle reconstruction • expansion of method to aerodynamic imbalances (pitch angle deviation) • methods for non-stationary frequency data
