Patent ID: 10359301

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a signal processing device for monitoring states of wind-power turbine blades and a method thereof, the signal processing device comprising: an optical fiber sensor unit for sensing moment of rotation of three blades so as to output the moment of rotation as blade signals; a signal transformation unit for converting three blade signals into two fore-ape signals; a rotation information input unit for sensing rotation information of the blades; a rotation speed estimation unit for estimating a rotation speed of the blades on the basis of the rotation information; a state determination unit which removes rotation components from the fore-ape signals and determines whether an operation of a blade is abnormal; and an output unit for outputting the determination result. According to the present invention, two fore-ape signals which are simpler than three blade signals can be processed such that an efficient signal analysis is enabled and the efficiency of determining a state of blades is improved, thereby efficiently managing and maintaining the blades.
