Resumo
Wind turbines suffer severe damage due to excessive wind loads or inadequate maintenance
conditions, and catastrophic failures often occur causing huge losses. A structure, such as a
wind turbine, can be monitored and evaluated through its modal characteristics, where
natural frequencies, for example, are characteristics that are independent of operating
conditions. They change only in case of damage, i.e. when stiffness and mass change.
However, for the application of modal analysis, several sensors distributed in the structure are
required, which involves high instrumentation costs. In view of this, it is proposed the use of
modal analysis techniques integrated with virtual sensors, which, unlike real/physical sensors,
are obtained through models. In this work, the virtual sensors are determined by using an
artificial intelligence of the neural network type, which together with the modal analysis allows
to obtain the modal characteristics: natural frequencies, modal shapes and damping. For this
purpose, it is proposed to study a fixed Euler Bernoulli beam, an approximation model of a
wind turbine, where the flow loads are generated through a wind tunnel with a speed
controller. The flow velocities analyzed over the beam ranged from 10 to 20 m/s. The virtual
sensor for operational modal analysis was modeled using a dynamic neural network where
configurations of delay number and number of neurons in the hidden layer were investigated.
In sequence, the modal characteristics of the Euler Bernoulli beam are compared using
experimental modal analysis, situation in which the input is known and measured, and
operational modal analysis, configuration where the input is unknown and not measured. For
comparative analysis, the natural frequencies obtained in the different configurations and
modal techniques showed good results when compared with the values of the Euler Bernoulli
beam. For the modes, the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) was used, where when analyzing
each independent result, the MAC returns excellent modal results, but when performing a comparative analysis of the different configurations and techniques, the MAC showed low
correlation. Finally, the damping ratio showed an increase for higher flow velocities, but
further investigations should be carried out in future works using other operational modal
analysis techniques.
