8.2 Monitoring GmbH are independent engineering consultants dealing with all issues surrounding condition monitoring of wind turbines. 20 years of experience with online CMS represent a solid basis for assessing the drive train of WEC. The company owner is a registered expert with the Federal Association of Independent Experts (BVFS e.V.) and a member of the BWE Expert Consulting Committee. Apart from carrying out mobile vibration measurements to assess the condition of a wind turbine as part of condition-oriented and warranty inspections, 8.2 Monitoring focuses on independent implementation and analysis of online CMS. At present we look after 83 CMS including DMT (WindSafe), µ-Sen (VibGurad), SeaCom (MDSWind), Prüftechnik (VibNode) und Mita (WP4086) as well as 12 online particle counters. Continuous dialogue with the turbine operator is essential since they need up-to-date information on the state of their turbines and cannot afford to wait for annual reports. Our own developed analysis software consists many new algorithmen which enables an optimal monitoring.


 A new field of activity is monitoring the stability of turbine foundations by mobile measurements or by online-monitoring.
