Abstract: Wind turbines have been developed fast in the recent years and at the same time have brought some problems. It is important to maintain the healthy condition of the running turbine because the consequences after faults are miserable for both the company and owner. There is a constant need to reduce the costs of operating and maintaining the turbines. Therefore, it is very important to detect the faults/failures early so as to minimize downtime and maximize productivity. This paper reviewed the structure of wind turbines and analyzed the different components of wind turbines in order to detect the faults that may happen. Meanwhile, this paper mainly reviewed fault diagnosis methods of wind turbines in the last three years. The main purpose of this paper is to supply some information on structure healthy condition monitoring (SHCM) and fault diagnosis in wind turbines for related researchers.
