Abstract

Method for spectral evaluation of oscillation signals which have been obtained on a rotor blade of a wind power installation with an accelerations sensor. In doing so, instead of the otherwise conventional Fourier transform calculation, the spectral power density is computed. In the evaluation, also signal portions are considered which are not detected in the Fourier transform because they do not go back to oscillations which have been excited in the rotor blade.
