SCADA Data-Based Working Condition Classification for Condition Assessment of Wind Turbine Main Transmission System

Due to the complex and variable conditions under which wind turbines operate, existing working condition classification methods are inadequate for condition assessment of the main transmission system. Because working conditions are too few after classification, it cannot effectively describe the com...

SCADA Data-Based Working Condition Classification for Condition Assessment of Wind Turbine Main Transmission System
description Due to the complex and variable conditions under which wind turbines operate, existing working condition classification methods are inadequate for condition assessment of the main transmission system.

This can lead to high false-alarm rates in the condition monitoring, which affect normal operations. This paper proposes a working condition classification method for the main transmission system of wind turbines based on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data.
