Abstract

The paper aims to improve the fault detection and isolation process in wind turbine systems by developing intelligent systems that can effectively identify and isolate faults. Specifically, the paper focuses on the drive train part of a horizontal axis wind turbine machine. The  proposed fault diagnostic strategy is designed using an adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which is a type of artificial neural  network that combines the advantages of both fuzzy logic and neural networks. The ANFIS is used to generate residuals that occur after  faults have been detected, and to determine the appropriate thresholds needed to correctly detect faults. The simulation results show  that the proposed fault diagnostic strategy is effective in detecting faults in the drive train part of the wind turbine system. By using  intelligent systems such as ANFIS, the fault detection process can be automated and streamlined, potentially reducing maintenance costs  and improving the overall performance and efficiency of wind turbine systems.
