A wind turbine monitoring system is essential equipment fur the performance evaluation and mechanical load analysis of a wind turbine. A monitoring system using LabVIEW is developed in this study. This system monitors signals from a meteorological mast, wind turbine generator, and tower. The discrete signals which are sampled at t Hz are automatically saved on a data file in the unit of a day. Besides these basic functions, the developed monitoring system has the other several capabilities. One of them is the information access from a remote PC through the internet. A vision image of the test site area and data files that are produced by LabVIBW software can be uploaded to the main computer located in a remote site. An emergency backup system using UPS fur the power loss on the monitoring HW is also prepared, A detail explanation for the developed wind turbine monitoring system is presented in this study.
