Abstract As one of the most immensely growing renewable energies, the wind power industry also experiences a high failure rate and operation & maintenance cost. Therefore, the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of a wind turbine (WT) generator set are highly needed. Among different components of a WT generator set, WT planetary gearbox plays a crucial role in transmission and leads to relatively higher failure rate and longer downtime. Towards this, a number of studies have been reported in both the academic journals and conference proceedings. This paper provides a systemic and pertinent state-of-art review on WT planetary gearbox condition monitoring techniques on the topics of fundamental analysis, signal processing, feature extraction, and fault detection. Moreover, a few valuable open issues are pointed out and potential research directions are suggested.
