Abstract
A monitoring system for monitoring a time period of a locking state of a rotor of a wind turbine includes at least one motion sensor and at least one computing unit, wherein the computing unit is configured to receive at least one motion measurement from the at least one motion sensor and wherein the computing unit is configured to determine whether the rotor may remain in the locking state or the rotor should be unlocked based on the at least one motion measurement. A wind turbine having the monitoring system and a method for monitoring a time period of a locking state of a rotor of a wind turbine is also provided.
