This book describes in detail different types of vibration signals and the signal processing
methods including signal resampling and signal envelope used for condition monitoring of
drivetrains. A special emphasis is placed on wind turbines and on the fact that they work in
highly varying operational conditions. The core of the book is devoted to cutting-edge methods
used to validate and process vibration data in these conditions. Key case studies where
advanced signal processing methods are used to detect failures of gearboxes and bearings of
wind turbines are described and discussed in detail. Vibration sensors SCADA (Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition) portable data analyzers and online condition monitoring systems
are also covered. This book offers a timely guide to both researchers and professionals working
with wind turbines (but also other machines) and to graduate students willing to extend their
knowledge in the field of vibration analysis.
