A wind farm's existing SCADA data stream is a valuable resource, which can be monitored by WT OEMs, operators and other experts to observe, and hence optimise the performance of the WT. In order to conduct an efficient SCADA data analysis, data analysis tools are required. This survey discusses commercially available SCADA systems that are currently being applied in the WT Industry.
