Abstract
The presented work focuses on developing an RFID sensor capable of being implemented on the rotor of a power generator of a hydro storage plant to enable condition monitoring of dedicated posi-tions suffering under stress in terms of start-stop operation scenarios. The strain sensor value is read out wirelessly via a UHF RFID system, which either supplies the sensor or transmits its measurement result. The analyzed measurements done in a post-processing step prove the possibility of using such technology within the generator use case.
