A method is provided for monitoring a wind turbine using a combined supervisory command and data acquisition (SCADA) and video monitoring system. The method includes receiving video data from at least one video camera, wherein the video data is related to operating conditions of the wind turbine. The method also includes storing the video data in a memory, and receiving a command from a remote monitoring server relating to at least a portion of the video data, wherein the portion of the video data is associated with at least one SCADA data point. The method also includes retrieving the portion of the video data from the memory, and transmitting the portion of the video data to the remote monitoring server for presentation to a user.

1. A method for monitoring a wind turbine using a combined supervisory command and data acquisition (SCADA) and video monitoring system, said method comprising: receiving video data at a video server from at least one video camera, the video data related to operating conditions of the wind turbine;r
1. A method for monitoring a wind turbine using a combined supervisory command and data acquisition (SCADA) and video monitoring system, said method comprising: receiving video data at a video server from at least one video camera, the video data related to operating conditions of the wind turbine;receiving numerical data at a SCADA server from at least one SCADA element, the numerical data related to operating conditions of the wind turbine;receiving a command at the SCADA server from a remote monitoring server, the command relating to at least a portion of the numerical data, the portion of the numerical data associated with at least a portion of the video datareceiving a command at the video server from the remote monitoring server, the command relating to the portion of the video data associated with the portion of the SCADA data;retrieving the portion of the video data and the portion of the numerical data; and,transmitting the portion of the numerical data and the portion of the video data from the SCADA server and the video server, respectively, via a first network and a second network, respectively, to the remote monitoring server for presentation to a user. 2. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein receiving a command comprises one of receiving an automatic command from the remote monitoring server and receiving a user command from the remote monitoring server. 3. A method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising applying an identifier to the video data as the video data is received from the at least one video camera. 4. A method in accordance with claim 3, further comprising identifying the portion of the video data according to an identifier received from the remote monitoring server. 5. A method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising compressing the portion of the video data before transmitting the portion of the video data to the remote monitoring server. 6. A system for use in monitoring a wind farm having a plurality of wind turbines, said system comprising: at least one video camera configured to capture video data related to operating conditions of an associated wind turbine;at least one supervisory command and data acquisition (SCADA) element configured to capture numerical data related to the operating conditions of an associated wind turbine;a user interface; and,a plurality of servers comprising: at least one remote monitoring server;at least one video server communicatively coupled to said at least one video camera and said user interface, said at least one video server further communicatively coupled to said at least one remote monitoring server via a first network; and,at least one SCADA server communicatively coupled to said at least one SCADA element and said user interface, said at least one SCADA server further communicatively coupled to said remote monitoring server via a second network,wherein, said plurality of servers configured to: determine a specific portion of the video data based on a corresponding portion of the numerical data;receive the specific portion of the video data; and,present the specific portion of the video data to a user via said user interface. 7. A system in accordance with claim 6, wherein said at least one video camera is positioned within a nacelle of each wind turbine. 8. A system in accordance with claim 6, wherein said at least one video camera is positioned external to a nacelle of each wind turbine. 9. A system in accordance with claim 6, wherein said at least one SCADA server is configured to receive and store the numerical data from said at least one SCADA element. 10. A system in accordance with claim 6, wherein said at least one video server is configured to receive, compress, and store the video data from said at least one video camera. 11. A system in accordance with claim 6, wherein said at least one SCADA server is configured to transmit the numerical data to said at least one remote monitoring server via said first network and said at least one video server is configured to transmit the video data to said at least one remote monitoring server via said second network. 12. A system in accordance with claim 11, wherein the numerical data includes event data, and wherein said at least one video server is configured to: automatically determine a portion of the video data associated with the event data; and,transmit the portion of the video data to said at least one remote monitoring server. 13. A system in accordance with claim 11, wherein the numerical data includes event data, and wherein said at least one video server is configured to: receive a user command from said at least one remote monitoring server and input the user command into said at least one remote monitoring server via said user interface in response to the event data;determine a portion of the video data associated with the event data; and,transmit the portion of the video data to said at least one remote monitoring server. 14. A system in accordance with claim 11, wherein said at least one video server is configured to: receive a user command from said at least one remote monitoring server and input the user command into said at least one remote monitoring server via said user interface;determine a portion of the video data associated with the user command; and,transmit the portion of the video data to said at least one remote monitoring server.
