Abstract (EN): The paper presents the implementation of a dynamic monitoring system in two wind turbines. The system was developed with the ability to continuously track the modal characteristics of the wind turbines (natural frequencies, modal damping ratios and mode shapes) and to identify situations of anomalous variations of these properties which may indicate the presence of structural damage. The suitability of the adopted hardware and software for implementation in wind turbines is demonstrated with two case studies: an onshore and an offshore. The first results from the monitoring of both wind turbines are presented. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
