Abstract

This analysis looks at the use of anomaly detection to assess the condition of wind turbine gearboxes based on data from a number of operational turbines. A comparison is made between various methods of anomaly detection, these being one class support vector machine (OCSVM), random forests, and nonlinear autoregressive neural networks with exogenous inputs (NARX).
