Semi-supervised diagnosis of wind-turbine gearbox misalignment and imbalance faults

Both wear-induced bearing failure and misalignment of the powertrain between the rotor and the electrical generator are common failure modes in wind-turbine motors. In this study, Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) is applied to a fault detection and diagnosis solution. Firstly, a dataset is generated c...
