Wind turbine fault monitoring system using MQTT

Abstract

Electricity can be generated by many sources in different ways. The one best well-known resource is wind energy. This energy reduces the emission of carbon dioxide and this energy can be produced through wind turbines. The system which is going to be proposed consists of Node MCU, MQTT protocol and sensors like temperature sensor and wind speed sensor are used to detect the faults, which occur in the wind turbine such as temperature in generator and bearing faults respectively. Whenever the value of temperature in the generator exceeds threshold value, then sensor will give the alert. Whenever the sufficient wind speed is detected but the power generation is low with respective to actual energy produced by the turbine, then sensor will alert. These sensors are connected to micro controller unit ESP8266 Wi-Fi module for detection operation and these parameters will be sent to the main location through MQTT by which the client can monitor these detected parameters in a MQTT Client Cloud network through web page and also these parameters can directly send to the user mobile through SMS and Emails.
