Abstract
The installed energy generation capacity of wind turbines is increasing dramatically on a global scale; this means that reliability of wind turbines is of higher importance. A part of this task is to improve fault detection and accommodation schemes of the wind turbine. This paper presents a benchmark model for simulation of fault detection and accommodation schemes. This benchmark model deals with the wind turbine on a system level containing sensors, actuators and systems faults in the pitch system, drive train, generator and converter system.
