Abstract: The rapid expansion of offshore wind energy underscores the critical need for reliable gearbox monitoring, especially for failure-prone planetary gearboxes in harsh marine environments. To address this, we propose two novel, physics-informed diagnostic parameters: the Filtered Root Mean Square (FRMS) and the Normalized Summation of the positive amplitudes of the Difference Spectrum (NSDS). These parameters enhance fault detection by isolating fault-related vibrations from healthy gearbox modulation. Furthermore, an integrated, real-time diagnosis system implementing these parameters is developed using LabVIEW. Experimental validation on a dedicated test bench demonstrates the system's effectiveness, achieving a diagnostic accuracy of 95.4 % and outperforming traditional methods. This work provides a practical and efficient solution for condition monitoring of offshore wind turbine gearboxes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
