Abstract (EN): This paper presents some relevant results from one year of data obtained with a dynamic monitoring system installed in a wind turbine. This monitoring system continuously tracks the main vibration modes of the wind turbines under several operating conditions using automated techniques of Operational Modal Analysis (OMA). This work is primarily focused on the identification of the wind turbine modal parameters and the influence of environmental and operational conditions on these properties. In addition, the contribution of these modes and the importance of the harmonic excitation to the overall vibration of the structure is also quantified.
