Comprehensive fault diagnostics of wind turbine gearbox through adaptive condition monitoring scheme. Inturi, V., Shreyas, N., Chetti, K., & Sabareesh, G. R. Applied Acoustics, 174:107738, March, 2021.
Paper doi abstract bibtex The current work reports a multi-level classification to envisage the location, type/category and severity level of local defects at different stages of speed in a wind turbine gearbox with minimal human intervention. Experiments are conducted by subjecting a three-stage gearbox to fluctuating speeds with multiple sensors recording the real-time information generated. Wavelet coefficients are employed to extract the statistical features from the raw signatures decomposed through wavelet transform. A decision tree algorithm is used to identify features of significance and an integrated multi-variable feature data set is devised based on feature-level data fusion. The intended multi-level classification on the integrated feature data set is accomplished with the help of machine-learning algorithms. The results reveal that the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) performs the intended four-level classification on the wind turbine gearbox with a classification accuracy of 92%. Thus, the integration of multi-sensor information in conjunction with ANFIS as a classification algorithm, owing to its efficiency in predicting every possible detail about the health/condition of the different gearbox components, demonstrates its potential to be used as an adaptive condition monitoring as it.
