Abstract
One example includes a wind turbine yaw control fault detection system. The system includes current monitors that are each configured to monitor a current amplitude of a respective one of a plurality of yaw motors of a wind turbine and to generate a current signal that is indicative of the respective current amplitude. The system further includes a processor to compare the current amplitude of each of the yaw motors relative to each other and relative to at least one threshold based on the current signal from each of the current monitors. The fault detection algorithm further determines a fault condition associated with at least one yaw mechanical drive component of the wind turbine based on the comparison of the current amplitude of each of the yaw motors relative to each other and relative to at least one threshold.
