A method for discovering demagnetisation faults of a permanent magnet synchronous generator, such as a wind power generator. The method is performed during operation of the synchronous generator and includes measuring the vibration of the stator, performing a frequency analysis of the vibration, and deducing whether the generator suffers from demagnetization of a permanent magnet, from the vibration analysis. Moreover, geometric eccentricity faults and electric short circuit faults may also be detected from the vibration.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating a discreet connection between a user and a service. A system includes a service for a user to connect to without any detectable direct contact with the service. A first reverse proxy connection is configured to receive a connection from the user to set up the discreet connection, where an invitation indicating a mechanism for accessing the first reverse proxy connection is provided to the user. Access credentials are transmitted to the user over the first reverse proxy connection, the access credentials including an address for accessing a second reverse proxy connection, the first reverse proxy connection being deleted following delivery of the access credentials. The second reverse proxy connection facilitates the discreet connection between the user and the service without any detectable direct contact with the service.
