This paper presents a cumulative sum (CUSUM)-based approach for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of wind turbines (WTs) using SCADA data. The main ideas are to first form a multiple linear regression model using data collected in normal operation state, then monitor the stability of regression coefficients of the model on new observations, and detect a structural change in the form of coefficient instability using CUSUM tests. The method is applied for on-line condition monitoring of a WT using temperature-related SCADA data. A sequence of CUSUM test statistics is used as a damage-sensitive feature in a control chart scheme. If the sequence crosses either upper or lower critical line after some recursive regression iterations, then it indicates the occurrence of a fault in the WT. The method is validated using two case studies with known faults. The results show that the method can effectively monitor the WT and reliably detect abnormal problems.

The steam turboset is the key equipment of the electric power system. Thus, it is very important and necessary to monitor and diagnose the running condition and the faults of the steam turboset for the safe and normal running of the electric power system. In this paper, the Internet/Intranet based remote condition monitoring and fault diagnosis scheme is proposed. The corresponding technique and methods are discussed in detail. And a real application system is developed for the 300MW steam turboset. In this scheme, the system is built on the Internet/Intranet and the Client/Server construction and Web/Server model are adopted. The proposed scheme can guarantee real-time data acquisition and on-line condition analysis simultaneously. And especially, the remote condition monitoring and fault diagnosis can be implemented effectively. The developed system has been installed in a power plant of China. And the plant has obtained great economic benefits from it.

Reliable monitoring for the early fault diagnosis of gearbox faults is of great concern for the wind industry. This paper presents a novel approach for health condition monitoring (CM) and fault diagnosis in wind turbine gearboxes using vibration analysis. This methodology is based on a machine learning algorithm that generates a baseline for the identification of deviations from the normal operation conditions of the turbine and the intrinsic characteristic-scale decomposition (ICD) method for fault type recognition. Outliers picked up during the baseline stage are decomposed by the ICD method to obtain the product components which reveal the fault information. The new methodology proposed for gear and bearing defect identification was validated by laboratory and field trials, comparing well with the methods reviewed in the literature.

This paper describes a fuzzy model-based diagnostic system and its application to the cooling system of a diesel engine. The aim is to develop generic cost-effective knowledge-based techniques for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of engine systems. A number of fuzzy systems have been developed to model the cooling system components. Residuals are generated on line by comparison of measured data with model outputs. The residuals are then analysed on line and classified into a number of fuzzy classes symptomatic of potential system conditions. A fuzzy rule-based system is designed to infer a number of typical fault conditions from the estimated state of the valve and patterns in the residual classes. The ability to diagnose certain faults in the system depends on the state of the thermostatic valve. The diagnostic systems have been tested with data obtained by experimental simulation of a number of target fault conditions on a diesel generator set test bed. In five test cases for separate cooling system operating conditions, the diagnostic system's successful diagnosis rate ranged between 73 and 97.7 per cent of the test data.

In this research, a new method based on EMD and SVM for mine fan fault diagnosis is introduced. With EMD, fault feature can be extracted quickly and accurately, and taken as the input samples for SVM with the outstanding non-linear pattern classification performances. 5 two-class SVM classifiers are designed in order to classify and diagnosis 5 typical fault patterns of mine fan. The result of this research shows that the integrative method of EMD and SVM is very fit for the intelligent diagnosis and fault patterns recognition, and it will lead to the possible development of an automated and on-line mine fan condition monitoring and diagnostic system.

Wind power, as a renewable energy for coping with global climate change challenge, has achieved rapid development in recent years. The breakdown of wind turbines (WTs) not only leads to high repair expenses but also may threaten the stability of the whole power grid. How to reduce the operation and the maintenance (O&M) cost of wind farms is an obstacle to its further promotion and application. To provide reliable condition monitoring and fault diagnosis (CMFD) for WTs, this paper presents a comprehensive survey of the existing CMFD methods in the following three aspects: energy flow, information flow, and integrated O&M system. Energy flow mainly analyzes the characteristics of each component from the angle of energy conversion of WTs. Information flow is the carrier of fault and control information of WT. At the end of this paper, an integrated WT O&M system based on electrical signals is proposed.
