The turbine has been monitored continuously by 12 Kinemetrics made EpiSensor accelerometers at different heights of the tower. The sensor layout is presented in Fig. 2. Accelerometers were placed on the Northeastern (NE) axis and the perpendicular direction of it, since NE is the dominant wind direction for this region.
