Embodiment Construction

[0037] As mentioned above, the subject matter disclosed in this specification relates to a lubricating oil in a wind turbine (wind turbine). In particular, the subject matter disclosed in this specification relates to the monitoring or analysis of lubricating oil in wind turbines.

[0038] As described in this specification, it can be difficult to effectively monitor the quality of lubricating oil in wind turbines, thus potentially leading to unintended drops in lubricating oil quality and ultimately damage to wind turbines that rely on such lubricating oil for lubrication.

[0039] In contrast to conventional methods, various embodiments of the present invention include a system, computer program product and related methods for analyzing lubricating oils using test data extracted from such oils. In particular embodiments, a system includes at least one computing device configured to monitor lubricating oil from a turbine by performing operations comprising: determining the a...

Abstract

Various embodiments of the invention include a system having: at least one computing device configured to monitor a lubrication oil from a wind turbine by performing actions including: determining an initial ideal remaining life for the lubrication oil from the wind turbine; determining a temperature-based remaining life for the lubrication oil based upon a temperature measurement of the lubrication oil; calculating a contamination factor of the lubrication oil based upon a contamination sample of the lubrication oil; determining an updated ideal life remaining for the lubrication oil based upon the contamination factor, the initial ideal remaining life, and the temperature-based remaining life; and determining an actual life remaining for the lubrication oil based upon the updated ideal life remaining and a life loss factor.
