Abstract: The application of wind energy is getting popular and progressively imposed in certain country as a renewable energy sources. The monitoring of structural integrity in wind turbine system becoming new focus due to time and cost incurred during the operational of wind turbine. The existing method required high cost in term of human resources and time consuming especially when the system facing sudden catastrophic failure. The catastrophic crash may occur when the process is failed to detect early microcrack in the turbine structure. Therefore, the implementation of structural health monitoring (SHM) system which is operated in real time monitoring and detecting microcrack is becoming crucial. The latest research and finding on the SHM in wind turbine system is discussed in the current review. Besides that, a new approach of micro energy harvester in SHM is reported as well. This approach may offer new idea and technology which need further enhancement for the real application.
