Application of Generalized Composite Multiscale Lempel–Ziv Complexity in Identifying Wind Turbine Gearbox Faults

Wind turbine gearboxes operate in harsh environments; therefore, the resulting gear vibration signal has characteristics of strong nonlinearity, is non-stationary, and has a low signal-to-noise ratio, which indicates that it is difficult to identify wind turbine gearbox faults effectively by the tra...
