Abstract
Wind energy has undergone rapid growth over the last two decades, demonstrating it to be one of the most promising renewable energy sources. However, since the average expected lifetime of a wind-turbine is around twenty-five years, the need to develop models to automatize damage detection, aiming for the extension of the lifespan of existing assets, is becoming high-priority. For this, continuous vibration-based structural health monitoring can be used. Nevertheless, environmental and operational variability leads to substantial dispersion in the modal properties of wind turbines potentially concealing damage-like changes. To reduce this variability, residual-based monitoring is used in this thesis, which investigates data-driven approaches with the purpose of developing prediction models that are able to forecast the natural frequencies of an onshore wind turbine tower under varying operational conditions.
Residuals obtained from the prediction step are then used to build Hotelling's T^2-based multivariate control charts
