Abstract:
1. A data storage system for a wind turbine generator, the data storage system comprising: a controller configured to communicate with a wind turbine generator and to gather and compress wind turbine generator performance data, the controller comprising an online operation and an offline operation, the online operation requiring access to a networked system to store or retrieve wind turbine generator performance data, the offline operation not requiring access to a networked system to store or retrieve wind turbine generator performance data; a display configured to display the compressed data; and a processor disposed in the controller, the processor having a plurality of data stores to store wind turbine generator performance data compressed by the controller; wherein the controller, display and processor are in communication with each other and the compressed wind turbine generator performance data is stored in the controller in the form of a compressed data log, the compressed data log being accessible by the controller when performing the offline operation; wherein the data corresponds to a signal from one or more of a nacelle position and a nacelle revolution.
