Already installed cables are aging and the cable network is growing rapidly. Improved condition monitoring methods are required for greater visibility of insulation defects in the cable networks. One of the critical challenges for continuous monitoring is the large amount of partial discharge (PD) data that poses constraints on the diagnostic capabilities. This paper presents the performance comparison of two data acquisition techniques based on phase resolved partial discharge (PRPD) and pulse acquisition (PA). The major contribution of this work is to provide an in-depth understanding of these techniques considering the perspective of randomness of the PD mechanism and improvements in the reliability of diagnostics. Experimental study is performed on the medium voltage (MV) cables in the laboratory environment. It has been observed that PRPD based acquisition not only requires a significantly larger amount of data but is also susceptible to losing the important information especially when multiple PD sources are being investigated. On the other hand, the PA technique presents improved performance for PD diagnosis. Furthermore, the use of the PA technique enables the efficient practical implementation of the continuous PD monitoring by reducing the amount of data that is acquired by extracting useful signals and discarding the silent data intervals.

While the number of offshore wind turbines is growing and turbines getting bigger and more expensive, the need for good condition monitoring systems is rising. From the research it is clear that failures of the gearbox, and in particular the gearwheels and bearings of the gearbox, have been responsible for the most downtime of a wind turbine. Gearwheels and bearings are being simulated in a multi-sensor environment to observe the wear on the surface.

The condition of rotating equipment can be assessed using vibration measuring techniques. A number of these techniques including signal processing and analysis methods will be discussed briefly. Finally experiences on gas turbines and centrifugal compressors, operating in the Dutch gas transmission system, will be used to define a useful vibration baseline for condition monitoring, maintenance purposes and availability.

High-precision fault diagnosis is important for the widely installed complex industrial product, the wind turbine. However, intelligent monitoring is difficult due to the fuzzy boundaries and individual different variations of the unseen single or simultaneous-fault of such intricate equipment. To solve this problem, this study proposes an ensemble fault diagnostic framework for simultaneous and coupling failure. First, this paper develops novel signal processing methods for effective feature learning and mapping from the non-stationary and nonlinear raw vibrational signals. The adapted variational mode decomposition is introduced based on the particle swarm optimization that applies the minimum mean envelope entropy to optimize the parameters settings. Second, the novel ensemble extreme learning machine-based network is proposed to isolate the faults that applies one extreme learning machine network to count the number of fault scenarios, and the other one to identify the specific single or simultaneous-fault labels. With this scheme, the self-adaptive ensemble extreme learning machine-based fault diagnostic framework is more accurate and faster than the prevailing probabilistic classifier-based methods, as the proposed method does not rely on empirically specified decision-making threshold and generates all the candidate fault labels at the same time. Finally, this study builds the test platform and compares the overall results with the existing feature analysis methods and classifiers. The experimental results verify that the proposed framework detects both single and simultaneous-fault accurately and quickly.
