• Abstract: The trend towards larger wind turbines and remote locations of wind farms fuels the demand for automated condition monitoring strategies that can reduce the operating cost and avoid unplanned downtime. Normal behaviour modelling has been introduced to detect anomalous deviations from normal operation based on the turbine's SCADA data. A growing number of machine learning models of the normal behaviour of turbine subsystems are being developed by wind farm managers to this end. However, these models need to be kept track of, be maintained and require frequent updates. This research explores multi-target models as a new approach to capturing a wind turbine's normal behaviour. We present an overview of multi-target regression methods, motivate their application and benefits in wind turbine condition monitoring, and assess their performance in a wind farm case study. We find that multi-target models are advantageous in comparison to single-target modelling in that they can reduce the cost and effort of practical condition monitoring without compromising on the accuracy. We also outline some areas of future research.

  Many AI applications in wind energy may benefit from using operational data not only from individual wind turbines but from multiple turbines and multiple wind farms. Federated learning has emerged as a privacy-preserving distributed machine learning approach in this context. We investigate various federated learning strategies, including collaboration across different wind farms and turbine models, as well as collaboration restricted to the same wind farm and turbine model.

• Population-based wind farm monitoring based on a spatial autoregressive approach [0.0]
  Population-based structural health monitoring can further reduce the cost of health monitoring systems. To monitor turbine performance at a population/farm level, an important initial step is to construct a model that describes the behaviour of all turbines. This paper proposes a population-level model that explicitly captures the spatial and temporal correlations (between turbines) induced by the wake effect.

We consider a two-stage training with parallel GANs, which are aimed at capturing intrinsic features for normal and icing samples.

We propose a machine learning based turbulence forecasting system due to two challenges: (1) Complex-temporal correlations, and (2) scarcity, very limited turbulence labels can be obtained.
