Wind turbine is one of the present renewable energy sources that has become the most popular. The operational and maintenance cost is continuously increasing, especially for wind generator. Early fault detection is very important to optimise the operational and maintenance cost. The goal of this project is to study fault detection and classification for a wind turbine (WT) by using artificial neural network (ANN). In this project, a single phase fault was placed at 9 MW doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) WT in MATLAB Simulink. The WT was tested under different conditions, i.e., normal condition, fault at Phase A, Phase B and Phase C. The simulation results were used as inputs in the ANN model for training. Then, a new set of data was taken under different conditions as inputs for ANN fault classifier. The target outputs of ANN fault classifier were set as ‘0’ or ‘1’, based on the fault condition. Results obtained showed that the ANN fault classifier outputs had followed the target outputs. In conclusion, the WT fault detection and classification method by using ANN were successfully developed.

Nowadays, Factors of a competition of Hard Disk Drive (HDD) industry have reduced the cost of manufacturing process via increasing the rate of productivity and reliability of the automation machine. This paper aims to increase the efficacy of Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) of linear bearing in Auto Core Adhesion Mounting machine (ACAM). The linear bearing faults considered in three causes such as healthy bearing, one ball bearing damage and one ball bearing damage with starved lubricant. The Fast Fourier Transform spectrum (FFT spectrum) can be detected for linear bearing faults and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method used to analyze the cause of linear bearing faults in operational condition. The experimental results show the potential application of ANN and FFT spectrum technique as Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) tool for linear bearing fault detection performance. The accuracy and decision making of ANN is enough to develop the diagnostic method for automation machine in operational condition.
