Övervakningssystem för vindkraftverk : Monitoring system for wind turbines

Sammanfattning: This report describes how a new and modern monitoring system is crea- ted for a wind turbine. Elvira Vind AB is a company that has an old operating surveillance system manufactured in 1992. A need has arisen with the owner of the company and are looking for a simple and smooth system that monitors the situation in a wind turbine. Therefore, a system is created that can transmit data wireless- ly through a GSM-module. The system must be able to sense temperature, vibration and sound levels. Also a camera has to take a picture when it de- tects vibration and display the values of the sensors in a web site. The system must also be powered during a power failure, therefore a voltage regulator and a charging circuit was made in the circuit board. The goal of this project is to create a sensor-based monitoring system for a wind turbine and to see the sensor readings wirelessly and displayed in a web site. The report describes how the electronic circuit board has been created and which methods have been used for each sensor in this project. There is also a description of how to use the system for both software and hardware.
