Monitoring Data Based on Wind Turbine Structural Damage Identification and Dynamic Reliability Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Wind turbine structural health monitoring focuses on the dynamic responses and reliability of wind turbine structures under different damage degrees and random dynamic excitation.

In wind turbine engineering, wind turbine structural damage includes foundation damage, as well as blade damage and tower damage, and the load mainly includes the wind load, the seismic load, and the wave load. Most structural damage to wind turbines causes changes in the dynamic response of wind turbine structures. It is important to use wind turbine structure monitoring data to analyze the dynamic response and identify the structural damage of wind turbines, and further evaluate the structural service reliability of the structure of wind turbines. This can reduce the occurrence of major accidents of wind turbines and maximize the economic benefits of wind farms.

Wind turbine structure monitoring objects mainly include wind turbine foundation monitoring, blade monitoring, tower monitoring, and nacelle monitoring. In recent years, the aforementioned wind turbine structural health monitoring and service reliability analysis methods have made great progress, and a lot of research has been carried out in engineering applications.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
