Abstract:
Provided is a method for monitoring one or more wind turbines in a wind farm, each wind turbine having a rotor with rotor blades which are rotatable around a rotor axis, wherein one or several times during the operation of the wind farm a process is performed that includes
i) obtaining a digital image of the respective rotor blade, the image being a current image taken by a camera looking at the respective rotor blade;
ii) determining one or more operation characteristics of the respective rotor blade by processing the image by a trained data driven model, where the image is fed as a digital input to the trained data driven model and the trained data driven model provides the one or more operation characteristics of the respective rotor blade as a digital output.
