Abstract: Wind energy is one of the essential renewable energy resources because of its consistency due to the development of the technology and relative cost affordability. The wind energy is converted into electrical energy using rotating blades which are connected to the generator. Due to environmental conditions and large construction, the blades are subjected to various faults and cause the lack of productivity. The downtime can be reduced when they are diagnosed periodically using condition monitoring technique. These are considered as a machine learning problem which consists of three phases, namely feature extraction, feature selection and fault classification. In this study, statistical features are extracted from vibration signals, feature selection are carried out using J48 algorithm and the fault classification was carried out using logistic model tree algorithm.
Keywords: Fault Diagnosis; Condition Monitoring; Statistical Features; J48 Algorithm; Logistic Model Tree (LMT) Algorithm.
Scope of the Article: Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
