Sumario:Nowadays, remote sensing for structural fault examination to wind turbines is an important technological challenger. On the other hand, laser diodes represent a low-cost option to implement a remote vibrometer sensor by just using cheap analog electronics. Therefore, a recent electronic circuit along with a laser diode is conceived to detect faults on a winding structure due to vibrations mainly induced by the wind and its rotary parts with possible mechanical defects. The electronic parts consist of a sequence of bandpass filters and peak detector stages. Besides, an academic experimental platform is constructed to validate the performance of the proposed remote sensing scheme for fault diagnosis in wind turbine structures.
