Peak Analysis

This calculation generates the probability distribution of the peaks and troughs of a signal.

Click the Select... button to define the signal to be processed. button to define the signal to be processed. If you have selected multiple channels you will be able to specify a number of load cases and variables to be processed in a single calculation, and the results for each load case will then be stored as additional outputs of that load case, and/or accumulated over the turbine lifetime.

For each variable to be processed, enter the following data:

• Minimum value: the start of the distribution (should be less than the signal minimum).

• Maximum value: the end of the distribution (should be greater than the signal maximum).

• Number of bins: suggest 20. A higher number (maximum 144) will give finer resolution, provided there is sufficient data.
