PO159: Anomaly detection of wind turbine bearings through vibration signal processing and deep learning
Emerson Lima, Head of Condition Analysis Center, AQTech Power Prognostics
Abstract
Wind turbines play a pivotal role in the global renewable energy landscape, serving as stalwarts in the quest for clean and sustainable power generation. These turbines harness the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into electricity. Consequently, ensuring the efficient operation and reliability of wind turbines is of paramount importance. The utilization of trend vibration data offers valuable insights into the condition of wind turbine components. As wind turbines operate in varying conditions, they are subjected to a range of stresses and strains. A key focus of this study is the application of trend vibration data analysis in tandem with advanced machine learning models, specifically Deep Autoencoder, Isolation Forest, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Anomalies in vibration patterns can signify issues such as misalignments, bearing wear, gear failures, or other abnormalities that may jeopardize turbine performance and longevity. The combination of these machine learning models demonstrates an improvement in anomaly detection accuracy, enabling early fault detection and facilitating timely maintenance interventions. This not only enhances the operational reliability of wind turbines but also optimizes resource allocation for maintenance activities, resulting in cost savings.
