Summary :

Predicting the malfunction timing of wind turbines is essential for maintaining the high profitability of the wind power generation business. Machine learning methods have been studied using condition monitoring system data, such as vibration data, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data, to detect and predict anomalies in wind turbines automatically. Autoencoder-based techniques have attracted significant interest in the detection or prediction of anomalies through unsupervised learning, in which the anomaly pattern is unknown. Although autoencoder-based techniques have been proven to detect anomalies effectively using relatively stable SCADA data, they perform poorly in the case of deteriorated SCADA data. In this letter, we propose a power-curve filtering method, which is a preprocessing technique used before the application of an autoencoder-based technique, to mitigate the dirtiness of SCADA data and improve the prediction performance of wind turbine degradation. We have evaluated its performance using SCADA data obtained from a real wind-farm.
