An ensemble learning solution for predicitive manintenance of wind turbines main bearing

A novel and innovative solution addressing wind turbines’ main bearing failure predictions using SCADA data is presented. This methodology enables to cut setup times and has more flexible requirements when compared to the current predictive algorithms. The proposed solution is entirely unsupervised...

This methodology enables to cut setup times and has more flexible requirements when compared to the current predictive algorithms. The proposed solution is entirely unsupervised as it does not require the labeling of data through work orders logs. Results of interpretable algorithms, which are tailored to capture specific aspects of main bearing failures, are merged into a combined health status indicator making use of Ensemble Learning principles. Based on multiple specialized indicators, the interpretability of the results is greater compared to black-box solutions that try to address the problem with a single complex algorithm. The proposed methodology has been tested on a dataset covering more than two year of operations from two onshore wind farms, counting a total of 84 turbines. All four main bearing failures are anticipated at least one month of time in advance. Combining individual indicators into a composed one proved effective with regard to all the tracked metrics. Accuracy of 95.1%, precision of 24.5% and F1 score of 38.5% are obtained averaging the values across the two windfarms. The encouraging results, the unsupervised nature and the flexibility and scalability of the proposed solution are appealing, making it particularly attractive for any online monitoring system used on single wind farms as well as entire wind turbine fleets.This research was funded by Centro para el Desarollo Tecnológico Industrial, grant number CDTI-IDI 20191294 and Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca (AGAUR), grant number DOCTORADO AGAUR-2017-DI 004.Peer ReviewedObjectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::7 - Energia Assequible i No ContaminantMultidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)20212021-02-0120212021-03-02journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2117/340787https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/s21041512reponame:UPCommons.
