Abstract: A sensor system for measuring an operating parameter of a wind turbine component is described. The fibre optic sensor system comprises a light source for outputting light in a predetermined range of wavelengths, and an optical fibre comprising a long Fibre Bragg Grating, extending continuously over a length of the optical fibre to provide a continuous measurement region in the optical fibre. The optical fibre is coupled to the wind turbine component such that the continuous measurement region is located at a region of the wind turbine component to be sensed, and such that the grating period at each location in the continuous measurement period is dependent upon the value of the operating parameter at that location. The system further comprises a light detector for receiving light from the optical fibre, and for providing an output signal to the controller indicating the intensity of the received light; and a controller coupled to the light detector for determining, based on the detected light, a value for the operating parameter. In a particular embodiment the system is used to monitor the generator in the wind turbine nacelle. The optical fibre with the long FBG grating can the be inserted into the coil windings or stator slot of the generator.

Abstract: A wind turbine is arranged to operate in a fully-functional converter mode and a faulty-converter mode. A plurality of converters are arranged to share electric current in the fully-functional converter mode. The converters are dimensioned not only to operate at nominal active current but to provide an over-current margin to enable reactive current to be produced on top of the nominal active current in the fully-functional converter mode. In the fully-functional converter mode the converters are caused to produce reactive current on top of the nominal active current. In response to a fault of one or more of the converters, operation is changed from the fully-functional converter mode to the faulty-converter mode. In the faulty-converter mode, one or more other converters of the converter system are caused to produce additional active current by using their over-current margin to compensate at least partly for a reduction of active-current production due to the fault of one of the converters, and to reduce the reactive-current production by the other converter correspondingly.
