摘要:AbstractThe fault diagnosis of wind turbines includes extremely challenging aspects that motivate the research issues considered in this paper. In particular, this work studies fault diagnosis solutions that are considered in a viable way and used as advanced techniques for condition monitoring of dynamic processes. To this end, the work proposes the design of fault diagnosis techniques that exploits the estimation of the fault by means of data-driven approaches. These fuzzy and neural network structures are integrated with auto-regressive with exogenous input regressors, thus making them able to approximate unknown nonlinear dynamic functions with arbitrary degree of accuracy. The capabilities of fault diagnosis schemes are validated by using a real-time simulator of a wind turbine system. Moreover, at this stage the benchmark is also useful to analyse the robustness and the reliability characteristics of the developed tools in the presence of model-reality mismatch and modelling error effects featured by the wind turbine simulator. This realistic simulator relies on a hardware-in-the-loop tool that is finally implemented for verifying and validating the performance of the developed fault diagnosis strategies in an actual environment.
