Abstract :
All over the world, energy companies are investing in technologies to make better use of renewable energy to generate electric power. Wind energy is the renewable energy source that had a higher growing in the last decades and can be considered a hope in future based on clean and sustainable energy. The development of tools that allows operators and maintenance personnel to correlate machinery related information with other operational information such as machine speed, electrical load, and wind speed, are needed.
