ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns an apparatus for monitoring a wind power installation, with at least one sensor for detecting measurement values, and also a method of monitoring a wind power installation, in which: (i) a measurement value is detected with at least one sensor, (ii) the measurement value is converted into a signal representative of the measurement value, and (iii) the signal is stored and/or processed in accordance with a predetermined method. In one aspect, in order to provide an apparatus and a method which permit reliable detection of the loading on the pylon of the wind power installation, there is provided at least one sensor for detecting the loading on the pylon, the sensor being arranged in the region of the base of the pylon. In addition, the instantaneous loading on the wind power installation is ascertained from the signal representative of the measurement value ascertained by the sensor.
