The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding the University of Nebraska – Lincoln (UN) to design, fabricate and test a prognostic health monitoring system (PMHS) for wind turbines. The PMHS will include the design of small in size monitoring sensors to be mounted on or within existing turbines, including small (KW size) wind turbines and large (MW) size turbines. Information from the devices will be transmitted via existing internet connections to the UN lab where data will be analyzed.
