Abstract
This paper presents the research activity performed on a Small Wind Turbine (SWT) test stand. Commercially available turbine was modified towards incorporation of the sensors system for condition monitoring. Installed sensors measure angular shaft position, torque applied from the wind loads, vibration accelerations and last but not least rotational speed. All gathered data are then transferred and processed in Test.Lab by means of automatic in house developed Visual Basic application which afterwards converts TDF files to text files and stores them in a desired directory. The numerical simulation is being run in parallel to installed sensors measurements and is as well controlled by the same Visual Basic application. By having actual measurements and numerical simulation results one will be able to compare those two outcomes. In particular, if the numerical model is tailored to the physical one, data comparison will allow identifying malfunctioning due to component damage or extreme working condition.
